Elves' Ears - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've always liked to think of the quote from the Etymologies that Elves' ears are more "leaf-shaped" than humans (Aside: I've heard at greenbooks with tOR.n that the 'h' of 'humans' was clear, but it was the rest of the word wasn't). I know the Professor means a leaf like a beech or something like that, but wouldn't it be funny if he meant Elf ears look like maple leaves or oak?
