Elven anatomy

Conrad Dunkerson's essay (linked above) is still a bit behind the times however, as the word human is no longer in debate for example...

... but more importantly, the linguistic work Words Phrases and Passages was only published fairly 'recently' in Parma Eldalamberon 17, and the text on LAS- therein (and so on) very arguably supersedes Etymologies in my opinion -- and also I think a 'true interpretation' of WPP, whatever it has to say or not say about Elven ears, should not necessarily be influenced by Etymologies.
