White-Hand Gimli Elf-Friend

At least I can't recall a time when, oh, just to pick an example, a dwarf was called an elf-friend.
Gimli was called Elf-Friend, presumably for his part in healing the old enmity between the races and for the special affection which Galadriel held for him. After all, you don't get to go to Valinor without being pretty much in with the fair folk. As far as I can recall, though, he is the only example.
