使用する際の注意点

• Ielfen is only attested in textually-related glosses to Isidore of Seville's Etymologiae, I 8.11.97, where it answers Latin nympha. This doesn't imply ielfen meant "nymph," exactly, only that Old English had no precise word for nymphs, and the glossators thought female elves would make a useful approximation.
• This tradition of glossing nympha with ielfen appears to have originated in the seventh or eighth century, though the surviving manuscripts are later.
