Elven Ears
[EDIT: Split off the thread: What all was wrong with PJ's LOTR - Eärniel]
I posted like crazy my first three or four years - it was so wonderful to find and talk with other JRRT fans! Now the urge is pretty much spent - I'm kinda in the sitting back and relaxing stage. I still love JRRT's works, but I'm done talking about them for now, although I still like hanging out with those who feel the same way that I do and that have become iFriends.

Actually started back about when Al Gore invented the Intertubes, at the old White Council in the 90's, and was totally wiped to find whole communities of Tolkien fans. Round about the ten thousandth discussion of "who was Tom Bombadil" you tend to sit back and let others go at it. Now if somebody was to open discussions on winged Balrogs, pointed Elven ears, Anglo-Saxon Rohirrim... the old juices might get flowin' ![]()

Nah, I'm thinking more of the works besides LOTR and Hobbit (the various HoME works), where humans like Tuor see elves.

A 'new' text might be interesting here. But first a selection from the older, more well known Etymologies, dated from the late 1930s (for a full description of this text see Christopher Tolkien's commentary in The Lost Road and Other Writings).

Or maybe everyone had pointy ears at the time, so it wasn't a distinction.
