Keith's curiosity cannot be contained in one book!
...hmm. I skimmed the sequel ebooks and didn't see anything specifically, but there are a couple of references to some of the elves picking up accents from the old German lady who befriended them--it's never specifically said that the Master learned English from her, but it would explain a lot--so maybe the idea is that she's Jewish and they got it from her?
