It would fit.  And if it doesn't, I'm sure we can squeeze over and make
room!  I agree that the second version fits the Brithenig universe
better than the first.  In my opinion elvish genetic stock went into a
serious decline during the Fourth Age this side of the Blessed Isles.
Although my own *homunculogy is more influenced by Nancy Arrowsmith (A
Field Guide to the Little People) than Tolkien.

The most common name for fairies I've found in Brithenig so far is lla
ffefil deg, the fair family.
