the word firstborn means (duh) the first to be born
so really, should it be the valar, rather than either dwarves or elves, who were the firstborn?
or if eru was not immortal, and was somehow "born" (or as born as a god can get!) wouldnt he technically be the firstborn?
an if it wasnt eru or the valar, it would be the maia! so really neither elves nor dwarves are the firstborn!
