Re: Discuss amongst yourselves....
Elven. Even if Tolkien did use "Elvish" at times, "Elvish" sounds too fuzzy, like "This is kinda-sorta elf-related stuff, maybe. Possibly. We're not sure." "Elven" sounds more formal and more certain, like "Oh, yeah. This is definitely elf stuff."
Also, my spellchecker is flagging "Elvish" and leaving "Elven" alone. Surely that means something.

I thought Elvish was what people with lisps say when talking about the king of rock 'n' roll.

Re: Discuss amongst yourselves....
If we really want to be high fantasy, it must be spelled Aelv'yn. Maybe with more apostrophes.
