He has already shown her his sword. Many times. That is how they got into the discussion of his abundance of stamina and she said it wasn't normal. But I think your suggestion could work. Thanks Viv! I knew I could count on you!

That's a good one!
I have always used "elvenfolk." This one is boring, but it is used by the professor.
My take on elves is that they can withstand torment of the body that would easily break a mortal man. Just think if they can experience delight in that equal measure!!  That's the way MY elves are, anyway... (my pretty nerri all in a row...)
(Not to mention their ability to GIVE pleasure.)

Aha! I found the bit I was looking for:
"The Elves far back in the Elder Days became divided into two main branches: the West-elves (the Eldar) and the East-elves. Of the latter kind were most of the elven-folk of Mirkwood and Lorien; but their languages do not appear in this history." (From "Of the Elves" in Appendix F; italics in the original)
So wood-elves of Mirkwood would not call themselves Eldar. Whew. Knew I got that from someplace.
Not that it matters at this point. lol |

| Well, we don't call ourselves humans, do we? But you have to consider whether elves consider the word "elf" a reference to the species (as in "human") or whether they consider it a reference to a male member of the species (as in "man"). From what I've seen it's usually the latter, and then "elleth" is used for female. |

I think somebody said it earlier, "Quendi" meaning "Speakers" or something like that. I think that is what they refered to themselves way back at Cuivinien (sp?)
This is off the top of my head though.
"Show her his sword"... hmmph... I love Viv
