Didn't know where to put this
Does anyone know what the term is for a group of elves?
Gaggle? Herd? Riot? Mob? Sparkle? Just a little something we're discussing around the office this afternoon. I won't bore you with the context.

Clan. A clan of elves. That is the correct term.

Several years ago, I went through this phase of memorizing collective nouns. I never came across the collecive noun for elf.
Ferrets and flies are often known as a "business." And a group of elephants? A Tide. Roll Tide!
