Editing Dwarf (folklore) (section)

===Diversity and vagueness===
Rather than existing a "true" single nature of a dwarf, they vary in their characteristics, not only across regions and time but also between one another in the same cultural context. Some are capable of changing their form entirely. The scholar [[Ármann Jakobsson]] notes that accounts of dwarfs in the [[Eddas]] and the section of [[Ynglinga saga]] regarding [[Sveigðir]] lack prominence in their narratives and cohesive identity. Based on this, he puts forward the idea that dwarfs in these sources are set apart from other beings by their difficulty to be defined and generalised, ultimately stemming from their intrinsic nature to be hidden and as the "Other" that stands in contrast with humans.{{sfn|Jakobsson|2005|pp=69-70}}
