I was wrong; my memory played me false and I failed to check my facts. My apologies to uncle Iorlas.
I've read the appendices and still did not realize that dwarrows was a word invented by Tolkien and not an antique/obsolete plural form of dwarf. I did know that he had devised dwarves as an alternative to the usual dwarfs so as to set the mythical race apart from persons afflicted with dwarfism. I am finding sources that indicate that dwarrows can be traced to Middle English.
