vanishedone commented on the list tolkien-s-archaisms
I wonder whether dwarrows belongs here, Tolkien having termed it the 'real 'historical' plural of dwarf: 'It should be dwarrows (or dwerrows), if singular and plural had each gone its own way down the years, as have man and men, or goose and geese.' (From the quotation given here.)

sobriquet commented on the list tolkien-s-archaisms
I was inclined to agree with you at first, but I realized that they would be more appropriate in another list, such as "Tolkien's creatures". Dwarrows are no more a real part of our language than ents, even though both originated with an (archaic) English word.
