Entmoot

From the One Wiki to Rule Them All, the Lord of the Rings Encyclopedia.

Entmoot is a gathering or meeting of Ents. An Entmoot doesn't happen often. They are always held in Derndingle, a bowl-like valley far south of Treebeard's home. Since the Ents' language is so descriptive and "unhasty", an Entmoot can take a very long time. The Entmoot held to decide if the Ents should go to war against Saruman lasted from noon on the first day till afternoon on the third day. Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took were present at that Entmoot, staying with the "hasty" Ent Quickbeam. In Dutch, an Entmoot is called 'Entmoet', which is similiar to the Dutch word 'Ontmoet', which means, 'To meet'.
