Right-o.

Who was Maedhros cousin's daughter (two possible answers)?

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-07-2004, 05:06 PM

Idril & Finduilas & Celebrian (I count three

)

Oops, forgot Idril, and you are of course right. Take it away!

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-08-2004, 05:51 PM

How are Elrond's own children related to him, except their relationship as sons and daughter, of course!

NightKnight · 11-09-2004, 12:12 PM

Elrond is their third cousin, once removed.

luthien-elvenprincess · 11-09-2004, 08:42 PM

Hummmm..NightKnight, could you explain that. I am having trouble seeing the relationship that way. I am seeing it a different way...but, I might be missing something.

Well, Galadriel and Turgon were first cousins. That makes Idril and Celebrian second cousins, and Eärendil and Arwen/Elladan/Elrohir third cousins. And then Elrond is their third cousin, once removed. Some of the phrases might be wrong, but I think I've got it right.
