IMHO, the first two sentences of the introduction don't run smoothly. The first one is plural: Oliphaunts were animals, while the second one is singular: In Middle-earth it was called mûmak. Does somebody have a suggestion to let it run more smoothly? I considered changing 'it' for 'the Oliphaunt', but that would mean that we had three times that name in as many sentences! --Earendilyon 17:13, 19 October 2006 (EDT)

Well, yeah, it is. But I figured that is "should" be plural as the article's title is plural also. But I guess this'll work too ;) --Earendilyon 17:22, 19 October 2006 (EDT)
