You're not wrong. It's more of the context which what I referring to. As you know the word Falmer which is well, the Elven translation of "Snow Elf" like how Bosmer is "Wood elf" and so on. However it is the way that Dreet-Na uses the term that aroused my curiosity; he used it to discriminate Faire from the pale Smeagol things. In Skyrim, the only NPC who insisted that Falmer and Snow Elf are different things was Gelebor himself and it's only because the term "Falmer" carries negative connotations.
OTHERUSELESSTRIVIA!: Falrielle was more or less a response I had when reading a bad fic with a Snow Elf. Fun stuff.
EDIT: Oh this
