elvenn.

Forms: Old English ælfen, elfen, Middle English plural alfene, alvene, elvene.

Etymology: Old English ælfen , ęlfen , representing a West Germanic type *alƀinnja (feminine), < *alƀi-z elf n.¹Although the Old English word glosses plural nouns in the Latin, it is grammatically necessary to regard it as a feminine singular.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈelven.

†1. Obsolete. Originally, a female elf, but in later use applied to both sexes.
