there was much discussion about the term "petty dwarves". I agree with where it sort of landed, and the use of the term Exiles.
But I wonder... what if some, perhaps not Elves but Men, referred to them as "the pitied dwarves"? This has the fun of playing with the role of pity in the kegendarium, and we could treat the term "petty" as a corrupted form of "pitied", so Tolkien nerds would get the reference but noobs would not be taken aback by the word petty.
Just a thought.
