I can see, actually, at least two ways to get hybrids:

* The heroic myth approach: Beren alone of mortal men married an elf-woman, the sons of God desired the daughters of men, and so on.

* The urban realism approach: When people start coming to the emerging halfling city-states to trade, some of them stay, and perhaps intermarry, and whether through chance, drugs, or magic, some of them have children.

I'm not sure if they'd both work in the same storyline, though. Thoughts?
