>   I was wondering if anyone out there knows the etymology of the word "elf"

I have a colleague who's writing a book on elves, both the word and
the associated folk lore, so I'll pass this posting on to him and
post any reply. I expect it's a pretty difficult matter, as I
understand the early sources are rather thin and problematic.
