Elle-folk

"We're none of the elle-folk who dance in the hills and weave fates, ye mun go to them for that."

Still the Elle-folk are often mentioned in the legends he proceeds to give as inhabiting houes, notwithstanding an explicit opening statement that they ‘dwell in the Elle-mosses,’ and notwithstanding the fact also that the so-called Elle-kone of the houes seems evidently to want the hollow back.

The ellefolk live in mosses, banks and mounds, under alder-trees and in alder-thickets.
