[[ The Noldor are clearly superior to the Sindar in every possible way. ]] [ Come on! What's to discuss about that? It is patently obvious on the surface that...
Let me see, aren't the Noldor those who marry twice, play with swords, excel at everything, swear interesting oaths, create shiny things and get nasty when...

Okay, then I'm dense! I thought the question was which source the name came from. Sorry. :) Is the question whether the cite is correct? I don't have PE, so I...
