The White Ring... principal of the Three=? UT - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

It is stated in the UT that Galadriel´s ring, Nenya or the White Ring, was the principal ring of them all. And even though CTolkien says that in LOTR the fact is stated contrary to what the UT say, Ive always wondered...

Which version survived? Because in the Silmarillion and in LOTR, Vilya is stated as the mightiest of the 3. But Nenya is stated in the UT as the principal one.

Might it be that even though Vilya was the mightiest ring, the commanding ring among the 3 was Nenya? The one that allowed its bearor to see what the other weilders think, just as the One Ring does (all proportions kept)?
