Belly buttons? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't think that the first people of either nation (except for orcs) had belly buttons (considering that you get one only after you are born - ie when the umbilical cord is cut and made into a knot). The Elves at Cuivienen weren't born - they just awoke. Same goes for Dwarves and men. Orcs are different, since they are "made" from pre-existing Elves, that might have had belly buttons.
