Sript Frenzy Help- sentient race name needed.
Right now I"m stalled on my script, so I'm going to make a request of anyone reading this. I need a name for one of the intelligent species, they're sort of elf-like and sort of dryad like. Here's something I wrote from the perspective of someone who is essentially one of them.

I was raised by my mother and her sibs- there were eight of them, including my mother. There are rarely more than five or fewer than three. Three were differentiated [gendered] and two were juvenile trees, having planted themselves at a young age.

Mother was, biologically speaking, my father. She was a switch and had became female during puberty. After my human mother died in childbirth my (dryad) mother became female in response.

There's more, but I don't feel like typing it up and it has more to do with his love life than with his one parent species.

"Sibs" are siblings born at the same time, and they tend to be very close.

Tristan (who comes from Toronto) will tend to think of Torell as a half-elf, but I want a name that they call themselves, rather than just calling them elfs.

Sometimes, looking up the derivation of a word will suggest things that could be used. One of the sources for elvish legends that the Oxford gives is the Teutonic belief in the "mythol"....a rather dwarvish race of supernatural and magical beings. Perhaps you could alter that a bit....say to mytholin, or a blend of the words, like evytholin? Mythelin?

Good luck!

How about Roghnófar (Celtic for "chosen")?
