MorwenEdhelwen1	Folklore: Dwarves growing out of stone (36)	RE: Folklore: Dwarves growing out of stone	16 May 13
@leeneia: I'll have to use that idea! Maybe it was a twist on the idea of dwarves turning into stone (Cf. Alviss). Oddly, in both German and Norse folklore and mythology, there are very few references to female dwarves - the only named ones I know of are Lyngheid and Lofnheid in the Poetic Edda and Herrid, a little girl in The Saga of Thorstein Viking's Son, who is the daughter of the dwarf Sindri. There may be other ones, but they are hidden and indistinguishable from the men (maybe this is where Tolkien got the idea that dwarf women "are like to the men in appearance, voice and speech."
