I was checking the Ulmo-Turgon dialogue about Gondolin and I noticed that Ulmo refers to Melkor as "Melkor" (not "Morgoth").

This is very kind of Ulmo.

I wonder if that's really intentional, or just a result of compling multiple versions of the text. Do we have other instances of the Valar directly talking about him post-Darkening? If so, what nname do they use?
