-Tony,
I know this isn't your point, but I think dwarfs is as
acceptable as dwarves these days. I found it that way
in a book recently and left it alone. Of course,
dwarfs as a verb is different from dwarfs as a noun,
but that's another mater (smile).
Also, I found out when I was correcting Englis papers
a few years back, fishes is now an acceptable plural,
whereas when I was young (many years ago) the plural
of fish was fish. Language changes, no always for the
better, but I suppose in many cases it is toward the
more sensible.
Cindy
