Tolkien comments in his Letters #17 "No reviewer (that I have seen), although all have carefully used the correct dwarfs themselves, has commented on the fact (which I only became conscious of through reviews) that I use throughout the 'incorrect' plural dwarves. I am afraid it is just a piece of private bad grammar, rather shocking in a philologist; but I shall have to go on with it. Perhaps my dwarf - since he and the Gnome are only translations into approximate equivalents of creatures with different names and rather different functions in their own world - may be allowed a peculiar plural. The real 'historical' plural of dwarf (like teeth of tooth) is dwarrows, anyway: rather a nice word, but a bit too archaic. Still I rather wish I had used the word dwarrow."

How do white dwarfs compare to super giants in terms of temperature and luminousity?
White dwarfs are typically much hotter than super giants, with surface temperatures ranging from about 5,000 to over 100,000 Kelvin, while super giants have surface temperatures between 3,500 and 20,000 Kelvin. However, despite their higher temperatures, white dwarfs are far less luminous than super giants, which can be thousands to millions of times more luminous than the Sun due to their massive sizes and energy output. In summary, white dwarfs are hotter but less luminous compared to super giants.

Why no red dwarfs have become white dwarfs?
Red dwarfs have not yet evolved into white dwarfs because red dwarfs are much less massive than other types of stars that do become white dwarfs. Red dwarfs are the smallest and coolest stars, and they have not burned through their fuel quickly enough to go through the stage of becoming a white dwarf. It will take billions of years for a red dwarf to cool and fade into a white dwarf.
