Cellurdur, I have no problem at all if your oppionion in this or any other matter does disagree with mine. That is was a discussion bord is meant for: exchanging different oppionons.

But about Nimloth I have again to gainsay you. The Tale of Years is a late source if not even the latest we have for the end of the First Age. So your argument holds no water that Nimloth does disapear from later sources. And if you are talking about the last chapters of the Later Silmarillion manuscript that Tolkien did correct at a few points late in his life, then I have to say that many persons and detaisl of the story are missing from that without being rejected.
But anyway I agree that she was very probably slain by the Feanorians during the attack on the Havens of Sirion.

Respectfully
Findegil
