elf (plural elves or (now nonstandard) elfs)
The plural elves has always been more common than elfs. Elfs was notably used by Edmund Spenser (1579?; 1590; as elfes), Thomas Nashe (1594; as elfes), Peter Heylyn (1657), William Cleland (a. 1690), John Dryden (1700), Laurence Eusden (1717), Nathaniel Hawthorne (1850), Sabine Baring-Gould (1868), Sidney Lanier (1877), and Paul Laurence Dunbar (1905). Some writers, including Andrew Brice (1760) and James Sibbald (1802), provided both plurals. Elfs was first listed as an alternative plural in A Dictionary of the English Language in 1818; others such as James Knowles’s A Pronouncing and Explanatory Dictionary of the English Language (1835), James Bamford’s Elements of English Grammar (1844), and Henry Elliot Shepherd’s A Grammar of the English Language (1883) followed; but it gradually decreased in use and is now mostly considered nonstandard.
