Minor quibble: "We have Arator the Redeemer and the children of Rhonin and Vereesa Windrunner to attest to elf/human interfertility." I believe you meant fertility, or am I mistaken.

NBD, great article yet again Matt!

Interfertility = Fertility between different races.

I believe you are mistaken. Obviously both races are fertile. The question being addressed was whether the two are interfertile.

InTERfertility, meaning capable of interbreeding - i.e., they can make babies together. Not "infertility," which I admit is what I saw at first, too.

Actually, Interfertility is the proper word to use here. It means fertility between two different species. You probably read it as infertility, meaning incapable of reproduction.

I'm so happy to see so many people get this right in their responses! As a future Latin teacher, I love seeing words derived from the language used correctly. Keep up the great work, and take a year or two of Latin!
