A masculine Elb is reconstructed from the plural by Jacob Grimm, Deutsches Wörterbuch, who rejects Elfe as a ( then, in the 1830s ) recent anglicism.

Jacob Grimm discusses " Wights and Elves " comparatively in chapter 17 of his Teutonic Mythology.

Jacob Grimm in his Deutsches Wörterbuch deplored the " unhochdeutsch " form Elf, borrowed " unthinkingly " from the English, and Tolkien was inspired by Grimm to recommend reviving the genuinely German form in his Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings ( 1967 ) and Elb, Elben was consequently reintroduced in the 1972 German translation of The Lord of the Rings.

On the latter Jacob Grimm does not make a direct association to the elves, but other researchers see a possible connection to the shining light elves of Old Norse.

Jacob Grimm noted that if, as Adam of Bremen states, Fosite's sacred island was Heligoland, that would make him an ideal candidate for a deity known to both Frisians and Scandinavians, but that it is surprising he is never mentioned by Saxo Grammaticus.

The rest of his life was mainly occupied with the composition of the two great works on which his fame rests, the Grammar of the Romance Languages ( 1836-1844 ), and the Lexicon of the Romance Languages -- Italian, Spanish and French ( 1853 ); in these two works Diez did for the Romance group of languages what Jacob Grimm did for the Teutonic family.
