Sententia 1.4.1

Huc illa sententia est:

English: For they are a little people, smaller than Dwarves: less stout and stocky, that is, even when they are not actually much shorter.

Latin: Paula gens sunt, parvus magis quam pumiliones: minus corpulenta crassaque id est, etsi non valde brevior reapse sunt. | IACOBVS.CELSVS (disputatio) 18:07, 17 Decembris 2013 (UTC)

For: nam

little people: If you had Traupman's (hint hint), you'd immediately find populus minutus.

small, smaller, smallest: parvus, minor, minimus. Although I'm not sure I'd use this word, because it has so many other meanings, like less important, or less in many other ways, even less in age (so that Pliny the Younger is Plinius Minor). I'd either use brevior, or use an ablative of respect to narrow down the meaning, like proceritate minor (less in height).
