IIRC there was a discussion a long time ago about this on
rec.arts.books.tolkien or alt.fan.tolkien. The point (heh, heh)
of the discussion was that the elves had leaf shaped ears. (Don't
know where it said that, tho.) But that's all it says.=20
So for all that we know they might have the pointy side pointing=20
downwards, or the ears might be shaped like oak leaves...=20
That'd be fun! :)
