Under the assumption that it's a fantasy setting: D'you have a hundred races (or folk/kin, that's a good suggestion) or something? If there are just a few combinations, maybe it makes sense to use context-specific terms. An elf might refer to an elf-human hybrid as a Stub-Ear or a Partial (I don't know how politically horrible or not your setting is). Otherwise, cross-kin as a neutral term?
