    How this list was compiled

    Own list written for this page on 2026-10-09 for an invented court or company of elves in a story or a tabletop game, from everyday words of starlight, woodland and great age. Gloaming and eventide are used as https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gloaming and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eventide give them. No entry is a word of an invented language or the name of a people, a place or a group in a book or a game. Checked by script the same day: no entry repeats an entry of another list on this site, no word sits in two parts of one name, and no pair of neighboring parts appears in the text of ten Wikipedia articles on elves in folklore, books and games, among them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elf and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elves_in_fiction. A group in a published story or game may still use a result. Licence: own work
