Yes, this could be much more complicated, what are we thinking? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

According to my calculations, Elwing was one half elf on her mother's side, and one quarter Man, one eighth Elf, and one eighth Maia on her father's side, meaning that in all she was five-eighths elven. Elrond, then (if by some freakish chance my math is right) was 3/8 Man, 1/16 Maia, and 9/16 Elf. Ninesixteenthselven sounds even worse than Threequarterselven, though... let's just say half. It's close enough, isn't it??
