| I know Tolkien talks about the first year of life, pregnancy, fidelity and things of the like in Laws and Customs of the Eldar, I don't have that book however, does it mention anymore about how elven children mature? If the age of maturity is 50, can I reasonably divide that by eighteen to get a sketch of the rate of maturation? |

| Not really. Elves aren't just long-lived humans. They're inherently different (for instance, they have developed speech and physical control long before human children would, but they're generally smaller in stature than human children of hte same years... which, in my opinion, makes elflings a little creepy). |

| Hey, guess what, I do have the book. It's in Morgoth's ring, duh, which I bought for researching another aspect but I haven't read the entire thing yet. How bout that? If anyone knows of any other reference, I'd appreciate it. |

Hey, there's a plot bunny for a Mary Sue if I ever heard one:
Mary Sue hooks up with Haldir, has his luuuuuv baby, but unfortumately.....She's like totally creeped out by the little dude cuz he's like, way smarter than me and he's totally, like only four months old. |

Aren't all little kids? *hides from the mothers on this thread*  Good for you if you can stand a little wiggly, whiny thing (or two of them at once) *shudder* |
