We call ours teens (because we come of age at 18 or 21), Hobbits call theirs tweens (because they come of age at 33), what about elves? They don't come of age until 50. They would be in about their 30's and 40's at adolesence.

I don't know what the elves call them, however, in the Southeastern U.S., they would call them young'uns, which is a contraction of "young ones"!

As in, "Just look at 'em young'uns playin' with those orcs from up the holler!"
