The truth is that their ears were extremely long - like those of rabbits.
The true reason why Sauron became their enemy was that they kept raiding his
vegetable gardens by Lake Nurnen. When he asked them to stop, they just
laughed scornfully. They called him Sauron Fudd and imitated his rantings
against the wascally faiwies. So finally he got his blunderbuss and trasked
them. "All right, Gil-galad! This is the last carrot you steal from me!"
Blam blam blam kapow. They stopped laughing after that, I can tell you.

I'm more and more impressed by your learning and insights into
Tolkien's truth. I used to think you were evil, because you were
associated with those loathsome TEUNCs who thought Tolkien was some
kind of joke. But either I was deceived by the vile company you kept,
of brigands who reeked of bad puns and scorned thw wisdom of MORAMBAR,
or thou hast repented of thine follies and changed thy ways, seeking
rather truth and wisdom than poor jokes and easy laughs.

Indeed, your account of the grievous tale of the Elves nearly has me
in tears. Short indeed was their merriment as the glory of Enron that
is no more, and long was their sorrow like the business section of the
newspaper after a poor day of trading.

Would you like to teach at FATS?

An elvish almanac? - I did read the trilogy as early as in 1970, so I don't remember if Tolkien, beside of an elvish script, did develope a calendar system in his books? I'm an enthusiast on ancient calendar systems. http://home.gvdnet.dk/~hagen/fig13b.htm Hagen

Elf, Elven, Elvish as adjectives - Are there any rules to using the words Elf-, Elven and Elvish as adjectives? As far as I can tell Tolkien seems to use them interchangeably.
