All i can say is that i know that Tolkien meant for the plural of Dwarf to be "Dwarrows", and i think probably the term was interhangable between the sexes. Its probably just Dwarf-Women...
Hey, theres not exactly a lot of difference!!!

I'm not sure about the elves, but in the film the nazgul call Arwen a "she-elf", but this probably isnt particularly accurate, and is meant as an insult anyway i would imagine...
