Angband was originally twice written, and in one of these cases it was changed to Angamandi, in the other (p. 35) allowed to stand; in all other instances Angamandi was the form first written. In the manuscript version of the tale Veanne does not make consistent use of Gnomish or 'Elvish' forms: thus she says Tevildo (not Tifil), Angamandi, Gwendeling (< Wendelin), Tinwelint (< Tinto (Ellu)).

In the Tale of Tinuviel the account of Beren's disguise is characteristically detailed: his instruction by Tinuviel in feline behaviour, his heat and discomfort inside the skin. Tinuviel's disguise as a bat has however not yet emerged, and whereas in The Silmarillion when confronted by Carcharoth she 'cast back her foul raiment' and 'commanded him to sleep', here she used once more the magical misty robe spun of her hair: 'the black strands of her dark veil she cast in his eyes' (p. 31).
