Sim e não

Só para esclarecer, temos outras informações de uma versão anterior da história. No relato anterior de seu encontro inicial com os Eldar, Oromë não fala com eles, ele apenas os ouve e os vê:

“Behold the woods of the Great Lands, even in Palisor the midmost region where the pinewoods murmur unceasingly, are full of a strange noise. There did I wander, and lo! ’twas as if folk arose betimes beneath the latest stars. There was a stir among the distant trees and words were spoken suddenly, and feet went to and fro. Then did I say what is this deed that Palúrien my mother has wrought in secret, and I sought her out and questioned her, and she answered: ‘This is no work of mine, but the hand of one far greater did this. Ilúvatar hath awakened his children at the last—ride home to Valinor and tell the Gods that the Eldar have come indeed!’”
_{The Book of Lost Tales, Part 1: The Coming of the Elves and the Making Of Kôr}

Isso parece ter sido alterado com a escrita do Silmarillion, que afirma que Oromë se demorou um pouco antes de retornar a Valinor para informar os Valar.

Oromë, depois de se reportar aos Valar, não retornou a Cuiviénen até que ele foi guiar os elfos de Kôr até as margens do oeste da Terra Média, em vez disso, Nornorë, uma embaixada de Manwë (a idéia de Nornorë foi posteriormente rejeitada e Oromë entrou em seu lugar):

“Then does Nornorë, whose feet flash invisibly for the greatness of their speed, hurtle from Valinor bearing the embassy of Manwë, and he goes unstaying over both land and sea to Palisor. There he finds a place deep in a vale surrounded by pine-clad slopes; its floor is a pool of wide water and its roof the twilight set with Varda’s stars. There had Oromë heard the awaking of the Eldar, and all songs name that place Koivië-néni or the Waters of Awakening.”

Nornorë falou o seguinte aos Eldar depois olhando maravilhado na sua beleza:

“Behold O Eldalië, desired are ye for all the age of twilight, and sought for throughout the ages of peace, and I come even from Manwë Súlimo Lord of the Gods who abides upon Taniquetil in peace and wisdom to you who are the Children of Ilúvatar, and these are the words he put into my mouth to speak: Let now some few of you come back with me—for am I not Nornorë herald of the Valar—and enter Valinor and speak with him, that he may learn of your coming and of all your desires.”
_{The Book of Lost Tales, Part 1: The Coming of the Elves and the Making Of Kôr}

A fala seguinte ao discurso de Nornorë parece sugerir que os elfos ficaram chocados ao ouvir a voz de um Valar:

“Great was the stir and wonder now about the waters of Koivië”
_{The Book of Lost Tales, Part 1: The Coming of the Elves and the Making Of Kôr}

E como você deve saber, três elfos ousados ​​(Isil Inwë, Finwë Nólemë e Tinwë Lintö) seguiram Nornorë a Valinor como mensageiros dos Eldar.

Os nomes de dois dos três "líderes" dos Eldar também mudaram com a escrita de The Sil, e eles se tornaram Ingwë, Finwë e Elwë, respectivamente). Além disso, a idéia de Palúrien (Yavanna) como mãe de Oromë também mudou.
