Tolkien covered this in lavish detail in the appendices to LotR. He's literally inb4 everyone on this, and explained what his point is.

For plurals, it depends on what kind of dwarf you're talking about. Comic relief or silly/fun --> dwarfs. A fierce, noble, grim, and impressive race that recalls somewhat the naugrim of old --> dwarves.

So to it depends on the setting. Traditional fairy tales like Sleeping Beauty, or game settings like Shadowrun? Dwarfs. LotR and most RPG setttings like Forgotten Realms, WHFB, Banestorm, and others? Dwarves.

Same thing with Elven / Elfin

He also admitted that he didn't know it was dwarfs and the whole thing was a giant typo that got past the editor.

This shit you're talking about is the equivalent of creating a giant black hole in your universe to explain why you measure speed with units of distance.

>WHFB

They pluralize it as dwarfs in Warhammer, though

Also dwarfs is the proper English spelling for the word in general. Of course in that case it's referring to, well, you know, midgets and stuff.
