Footnotes
| 1 | Eoten is related to the word ent, with the same meaning. This apparent connection with the Ents, however, is purely a linguistic curiosity, and there is no suggestion that Treebeard or any of his kind ever strayed into this region. The connection with Giants, though, is interesting, and it may be that this land was originally a home to that race. If there ever were Giants in these moors, though, they had apparently left by the later Third Age: at that time, the Ettenmoors are exclusively associated with Trolls. |
