I think dwarf is like elf, its non-gender. Its like saying human.
You don't say "he is an ellon" you say "he is an elf"
IMHO

In the appendix in RotK they use dwarf-woman and dwarf-women. PG 449 / appendix a under III Durin's Folk, towards the end of it[/i]

I have this terrible habit of researching to the nth degree one little sentence in my story and then missing something huge and blatant like, the elves of Mithlond are teleri, why are they talking in Sindarin???  |

'Cause we don't know much Telerin.  There's some stuff about Doriathrin (sp?... language they spoke at ol' Thingol's court) on the Ardalambion site. But generally, I don't care too much about elven languages. I don't speak any of Tolkien's so-spiffy languages, so I usually skip those parts. Like watching naughty French movies: it isn't about the dialogue anyway. |
