Welcome to the Downs, Amaris. Believe me, there have been far stupider questions posted here.

The word 'Elvish' has two uses; it can refer to the language of the Firstborn, but it is more commonly used to talk of things that have qualities and attributes that resemble works or members of the race of Elves. Something Elven is something that is undeniably and unarguably a product of the Elves. One could say that something seems Elvish that is not so, but to say that something is Elven (an Elven maiden or Elven blade, for example) is to say that it is a member of or creation of the Elves.

I hope this is an adequate and accurate clarification and answer to your question. I hope you enjoy your time here, as one of the Dead.

Cheers!
