Masculine and Feminine??
For the race of Men there is man/men and woman/women.
What about elves and dwarves? Are there different forms of elf/elves??

All i can say is that i know that Tolkien meant for the plural of Dwarf to be "Dwarrows", and i think probably the term was interhangable between the sexes. Its probably just Dwarf-Women...
Hey, theres not exactly a lot of difference!!! I'm not sure about the elves, but in the film the nazgul call Arwen a "she-elf", but this probably isnt particularly accurate, and is meant as an insult anyway i would imagine...

I am sure there is a word for dwarf women in Dwarvish. I know there are different quenya forms of Quendi. (Quendu and Quende or something like that)

You know why there´s no such word as "Dwarwennes"? *wispers* It´s because of the beards...
Sorry, couldn´t resist. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Can´t help you though...
