QUÉ SIGNIFICA ELF EN INGLÉS
Duende
Un elfo es un tipo de ser sobrenatural en la mitología y el folklore germánicos. Reconstruir el concepto inicial de un elfo depende casi enteramente de textos en inglés antiguo o relacionados con la mitología nórdica. La evidencia posterior para los duendes aparece en fuentes diversas tales como textos médicos, rezos, baladas, y cuentos populares. Estudiosos recientes han enfatizado, en palabras de Ármann Jakobsson, que ha llegado el momento de resistirse a revisar la información sobre álfar en masa e intentar imponer generalizaciones en una tradición de mil años. Las leyendas de álfar pueden haber estado cambiando constantemente y quizás siempre fueron heterogéneas, por lo que se podría argumentar que cualquier fuente en particular sólo reflejará el estado de cosas en un momento dado. Sin embargo, algunas generalizaciones son posibles. En las culturas medievales de habla germánica, los elfos parecen generalmente haber sido pensados como un grupo de seres con poderes mágicos y belleza sobrenatural, ambivalente hacia la gente común y capaz de ayudarlos o obstaculizarlos. Sin embargo, el carácter preciso de las creencias en los elfos a través del mundo de habla germánica ha variado considerablemente a través del tiempo, el espacio y las diferentes culturas.
