One question about Elwing and Earendil...

[Genealogy_dude]

Um...which is the boy and which is the girl? :confused: I haven't gotten far enough in the Silmarillion yet to find out so... please tel me! :D

[Durin1]

You should be able to tell from the look of the names: Elwing is the "girl".

Have you ever read LoTR? Check out the Council of Elrond chapter, where Elrond states his lineage.

[Elemmírë]

Or the index in the back of the Silm: "Elwing: daughter of Dior, who escaping from Doriath with the Silmaril wedded Eärendil....."

[Genealogy_dude]

Yup, I just read that today Ellemire. And Durin. I have read all of the LOTR books. ;)

I guess this thread will now be closed...
