Men awoke and were awed by the wisdom they gained and the beauty of the music of Finrod.
A… And they called him Nom for his wisdom and his descendents Nomin for they

between elves and Men as

Felagund hearing of the pressing conditions of the travels of the tribe of Haleth procured from Thingol haven for the tribe of Haleth in Brethil under the condition that her tribe guard the Crossings of Tieglin. After a time, the elf-kings realized that Men and elves could not mingle and that Men needed dominion of their own.
Now Hador Lórindol, favored by Fingolfin, was given dominion over Dor-lómin. His lineage would father the kinds of Númenor.
