Hi Khym Chanur,

In this game the correct plural actually is "dwarves".  You can see that from the line "[NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]" in the raws for {{L|Dwarf}}.  Toady's followed an unofficial fantasy convention that I think started with Tolkien, who similarly used "elves" instead of the formally correct "elfs".

Bug Tracker

Out of curiosity, is there a reason why you monitor so many bugs on the tracker? I ask because each time you do so, the bug gets marked as having been Recently Modified even though no meaningful changes have been made. --Quietust 16:13, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Plural of dwarf

Hi Khym Chanur,

In this game the correct plural actually is "dwarves". You can see that from the line "[NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]" in the raws for Template:L. Toady's followed an unofficial fantasy convention that I think started with Tolkien, who similarly used "elves" instead of the formally correct "elfs".
