Ways to tell them apart:
- "Dwarfs" is the standard plural form of "dwarf" in most contexts, staying consistent with regular pluralization rules.
- "Dwarves" is considered a more archaic or stylistic term, often used in fantasy literature to refer to the mythological race.
- Remember that ves in "dwarves" comes from the influence of J.R.R. Tolkien's works, which popularized the term in fantasy contexts.
- Think of "dwarfs" as similar to the word "chiefs," where the plural does not change much.
- If you're writing a fantasy story, "dwarves" might give it an authentic feel, thanks to its use in literature and mythology.
