Also pixies and sprites and brownies in Tolkien's mind (and therefore in ME) are probably very different from the normal association with the terms. Most people hear elf and think of a small pointy-eared person because they have forgotten how things used to be and only remember a shadow of true elven-kind. Someone hears pixie, they think of Tinkerbell for the same reason.

Aso, if the ruling spirits of ME could take different forms the others not ellaborated on probably could, too. Hence a water sprite or something being Goldberry and some kind of brownie or fairy being Ungoliant.
