tarotgalOkay... I've a elf-related question that is kind of stupid and as I've found conflicting info online, I thought I'd see if anyone here might be more helpful.
When using 'elf' as a modifier, when should I use elf or elven?
In the movie and sometimes in the book elf is frequently used as an adjective (as in "what do your elf eyes see?") but elven used all over the place as well ('look at my pretty elven cloak'). And then there's elvish to throw in there as well. So what's the diff? For example, which would br appropriate for a phrase like 'that was the _____ equivalent of a smile'.
Yeah, I'm stupid. Thanks!! :-)
