Correct. Which gets me thinking, what are the masculine and feminine terms for elves and dwarves? Elf man and elf woman, dwarf man and dwarf woman, sounds clunky...
Maybe elf and alf, and dwarf and dwoman
"Man" is gender neutral in this sense, encapsulating the full species, so "woman" should probably be prefixed with "human"... Or man man and man woman.
I don't really like the terms "man" and "woman" for elves and dwarves anyways. How about elf "maiden" and dwarf "so similar in voice and appearance you can't tell the difference"
Surely Tolkien had thought of this.
Gimly refers to dwarf females as women during his conversation with Eowyn.
Well technically there's only one adult Man there... And one adult Elf, and an adult Dwarf.
Also the ones from princess bride?
Wait, are they the same characters personality wise?
I would trust any trio from Robin's men in tights as well.
I push this call button and by everything you care for on this good earth, we will fight our way out of this elevator! MEN OF THE WEST!
I see only one Man in that picture
