This is fantastic and really helps put into context the train of thought that I was on. That the notion of a developing civilisation is what the Elementals are really nervous about. The Encyclopaedia Eorzea says that the Miqo'te think of themselves as part of the natural world itself, and gives their perspective on the city-states:
"To the free-willed Miqo'te, other races' way of life - their wont to flock together with their own kind, to overrun nature to build cities, to seek safety and stability in laws and alliances - must seem quite curious indeed."
This coupled with the important role that hunting clearly plays in their culture leads me to believe that they might have a kind of intuitive understanding of the Twelveswood and the Elementals, but not in the same way that Hearers do, perhaps in being highly attuned to the behaviour of their prey and relying on cues in their environment to let them know what they should hunt and when.
