Morwe and Nurwe abandoned?[edit source]

I just remembered a passage by CT from The War of the Jewels, Note 12 to the 'Quendi and Eldar', p. 418:

The story found in the Annals of Aman of the kindreds of Morwë and Nurwë, who refused the summons of the Valar and became the Avari (X.81-2, 88, 168), had been abandoned.

However, I strongly disagree with CT's interpretation of the situation - it seems that he based his conclusion on the simple fact that Morwe and Nurwe are not mentioned in the first phase of the 'Later Quenta' (from the early '50s), while the Annals of Aman were written sometime later. - IvarTheBoneless (talk) 01:28, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
