That dosen't answer my question though. His Fea was sent over the Sea right? So one day he just popped up outa nowhere in Imladris or where ever he lived when he came back to ME... Like he was reasembled?

I believe that he was "rebuilt" sort like the six million dollar man while in Aman. Then sailed to middle earth

Monster Post Part 1
The answer to that is found in Vol. XII of the History of Middle-earth, The Peoples of Middle-earth; Late Writings; Last Writings; Glorfindel [I alter Elvish words and names that contain the letter 'k' to 'c', since that's what was done in the Lord of the Rings spelling]:

You're welcome! How did you get that tongue for your smiley? It looks like the Greek lower case character for a voiced 'th'. Tolkien uses it for Quenya. Which numbers did you punch in?

Try ALT+0254 for lower case þ and for higher case Þ, ALT+0222.

I'm pretty sure you were right, now. 'Þerindë' looks more correct than þerindë. Especially when in this font.

Inoldonil, thanks for the monster post! Very comprehensive.
Do you have any idea where I got the notion that in one version Glorfindel came back with the same ship as Gandalf? I have a nagging feeling I have seen it in some obscure footnote, but I can´t find it now... Of course that is totally inconsistent with other dates/versions. |

That Glorfindel came with Gandalf in the Third Age is said in the first Glorfindel essay, which was replaced by the idea emerging in my monster post. Both can be found in the same place, in Vol. XII. If you have not read it, I guess you have heard from someone who has, or someone who had heard from someone who has.
