Dwarves have no word for "dwarf"

I took this to mean that dwarves have no word for unusually short person of their species. If they can say giant and titan they should be able to say dwarf/midget.

If I wanted to recreate the world of one of my favorite stories, I should be able to specify that there is a civilization called Groan, ruled by Earls from a castle called Gormanghast.
You won't have trouble supplying the Countess with cats, or producing the annual idols to be offerred to the castle. Every fortress is a pale reflection of Ghormenghast..
