The Count of Time begun with the Two Trees[4] (see: Years of the Trees).

The expression Deeps of Time probably loosely refers to the vast extent of Time[5] in the unfathomable past or future, and each specific point is a finite space in the Deeps of Time.[2]

Other versions of the legendarium

In The Book of the Lost Tales, the time was maintained by some Ainur who presented themselves to Manwe: Aluin was the eldest of the Ainur and represented Time itself, and his children were Fanuin (year), Ranuin (month) and Danuin (day).[6]
