     1  # Etymology
     2  
     3  In [roguelikes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike), items made by the
     4  elves have a reputation of high quality. These are usually called _elven_ items,
     5  but "elvish" was chosen because it ends with "sh", a long tradition of Unix
     6  shells. It also rhymes with [fish](https://fishshell.com), one of the shells
     7  that influenced the philosophy of Elvish.

    13  (like in this sentence).
