Talk:Norse dwarves

Actually, the spelling "artefact" is also correct - it's just more British. Ausir 20:27, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
Move to "Norse dwarfs"?
The correct plural of "dwarf" in any non-Tolkien context is "dwarfs". I'll move it when I have time, but there are too many links to this page for me to handle right now. If someone can run the renamebot, then please do. PhilHibbs 15:56, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Actually, currently both forms are considered correct, not only in Tolkien context. My Longman dictionary even gives "dwarves" first - it might have been incorrect earlier, but due to Tolkien's influence, it no longer is. Of course, it does matter which version is used by a particular writer (Tolkien uses dwarves, Pratchett uses dwarfs, some other fantasy works use one or the other), but when it comes to non-English works, like the Norse dwarves, the form used is irrelevant.
