矮わい人じん

noun

dwarf

Refers to a person of unusually short stature, often in a mythological, fantasy, or medical context. In modern Japanese, 小人 (こびと) or ドワーフ are more common for fantasy dwarves, while medical/descriptive terms include 低身長者. This term is rare and mostly found in older or literary texts.

• その昔むかし話ばなしには、森もりの奥おくに住すむ矮わい人じんが登とう場じょうする。
