The script itself is invented by an elf. So if anything, Cirth is elvish. If dwarven players could drop the misconception that the runes are 'dwarvish', it's be great. If you read the article about Cirth, you'll notice, that there are a lot of variations of it. When you compare it to anglo saxon runes, you'll notice, that crith was derived from the runes.

The misconception of runes being 'dwarvish', probably derives from "The Hobbit", as most of the characters are dwarves there and the story mostly deals with their place.

I had this misconception too and changed my first post accordingly. Now, I have to go through all 33 rune pages again to remove the "dwarven" from the text. *sigh* But thanks for telling me.
