I've got a few queries about awakening, be it the Dwarves' or Elves'.

Would they have awoken fully grown or as babies? If the latter, the first onces wouldn't have had anyone to bring them up, feed them, teach them how to speak and so on. And maybe some of the earliest Elves would end up with a cold demeanour, with their not having parents or anything.

And if they were the among the first, would they have known where to go from Cuiviénen as they were very sensitive and perceptive, or was it just luck that they wandered along the path they took?

You could discern some pretty silly scenarios from this, such as a mental picture of baby Elves crawling west from Cuiviénen whilst they grew up. (I was very bored last night and wondering about all this.)

Does anyone know how this all worked?
