Very vey interesting question....I'd love to look into this. Where can I read more about Ungoliant? I only have vols 1, 2 & 3 of HoME... and I've obviously read The Sil, I don't remember much that would help though. In fact I don't ever remember coming across this theory either...

May I enquire as to where Tolkien suggests this?
