I dare to contradict you there, the plural is ellith (e->i)

Oh, please feel free to contradict me whenever I'm wrong!

I couldn't find the Sindarin dictionary that I have -- somewhere -- so I don't have a source for what I said.

Thanks to all who responded! I've got an impressive dictionary on the top of my wish list, but it is pricey.

Thanks again!
