Nice chart... A couple of typos slipped through, though, it seems. ;) 'Atarinkë' for Curufin, 'Skilled Finwë' instead of 'Wise' for Fëanor, and 'KanAfinwë' for Maglor. I'm no learner of Quenya to determine if the difference between 'Strong-voiced' (canon) and 'strong voice of' (your version)makeswould make a difference in the name structure, but maybe it would.

The high kingship from Finwë to Fingolfin is a bit problematic, isn't it? Writing my own materials on the Silm., I hesitated whether to include Fëanor as 2nd High King and decided against it. It looks rather like there was a schizma in high kingship after the death of Finwë - both Fëanor and Fingolfin claiming supreme rule. Very tricky. ;)
