Finally, of course, the use of “eternal” in this context to refer to a long-lived being in the world of the loving jars as being rather different from its normal context in Church Latin to refer to the afterlife; it might have been better to choose another word entirely.
Given the author, and the description I heard elsewhere of the novellette as “elf looking for Jesus in a monastery”, I suspect the afterlife/eternal life meaning might have been intended.
Of course, given the author and the rest of your post, I suspect that if that is the intended meaning his choice of the correct word for it was accidental.
