"Финдис, чье имя было составлено из имен ее родителей, пошла в мать. После смерти Финвэ обе они жили в Валмаре, ожидая его возвращения, если оно состоится когда-нибудь. Сколь известно, ни мужа, ни детей у нее никогда не было. "
"Вторая дочь Финвэ и Индис, Иримэ Лалвендэ (а Лалвендэ означает "смеющаяся дева"), прекрасная танцовщица, больше всех из своей родни любила Финголфина и ушла следом за ним в Средиземье. О ее муже или детях ничего не известно. "
"По некоторым версиям, у Финоголфина были также сестры Финдис и Иримэ (в другой версии Финвайн), а согласно одному из вариантов, и третья сестра, Фаниэль (все они - также дочери Индис). "
"Other members of the Finwean family who have received virtually no attention through the years are Finwe's daughters by Indis. Finwe had daughters? Well, that is what "The Shibboleth of Feanor" tells us. Findis was, in fact, the first-born of the children of Finwe and Indis. She was apparently very much like her mother in temperament. Indis stayed in Tirion when Finwe joined Feanor at Formenos. She played no part in the governance of the Noldor, it would seem, and Findis seems to have stayed close to her mother. When news came of Finwe's death, both Indis and Findis departed and returned to the Vanyar.
Originally, Finwe was to have three daughters by Indis. Christopher Tolkien mentions that, from 1959 through 1968, this was the case in the several genealogies his father prepared for the Finweans. However, the second daughter, Faniel, is never mentioned in "The Shibboleth", and it may be that Tolkien intended to drop her from the family. As provided in the Shibboleth, Irien (originally called Irime, the third daughter) was born between Fingolfin and Finarfin. She was also called Lalwende, and it was this name which was Sindarinized into Lalwen. She and Fingolfin were very close and she accompanied him into exile. We hear nothing more of her, but some people have wondered if Aranwe, the father of Voronwe, might not be Lalwen's husband or son. Presumably, Lalwen settled in Hithlum and may have been slain or captured after the Nirnaeth. And since she was close to Fingolfin, she may have actively supported his claims to the kingship. "
