He Undoubtedly Invented Dwarves
Yes, the mythological concept of dwarves has been around since at least the thirteenth century and Tolkien’s dwarves are pretty similar to many traditional dwarves. What he did invent was the word “dwarves.” Before that, the creatures were pluralized as “dwarfs” (this is the version used with Snow White) or, in olden times, “dwarrows” or “dwerrows.” Tolkien thought that the word “dwarves” paired better with “elves” though and referred to his pluralization as “a piece of private bad grammar.” In fact, his early editors actually changed his uses of “dwarves” back to “dwarfs,” but in time, they relented.

While most people use Tolkiens pluralized form these days when discussing more than one dwarf, the author later wrote that he wished he actually used the proper historical “dwarrows” in his books instead.

So now, when you go see The Hobbit films, you can go in with a little more knowledge about the source material –and you can even start to imagine the characters saying “dwarrows” every time they say “dwarves.” Happy Hobbitdays everyone.
