phrases for even the smallest things. Nevertheless, the Ents could learn other races' languages and were able to communicate with others that way. Huorns were intermediate in form between Ents and trees: Ents that were "falling asleep" or trees that were becoming wildly active; they bore a deep antagonism toward orcs. By the time of "The Lord of the Rings" the Ents were a dwindling race, as the Entwives had left the Ents and disappeared. In "The Lord of the Rings", the Ents, led by Treebeard, the oldest Ent, were instrumental in defeating Saruman by destroying his fortress of Isengard,

were animated trees that possessed sentience. They were said to have voices but could only be understood by the Ents, not by the other peoples of Middle-earth. It is unclear if Huorns were simply trees that became aware or Ents that became more "treeish" over time (both varieties were thought to exist). Huorns were found in Fangorn Forest and possibly the Old Forest near Buckland. It is thought that, perhaps, certain Elves would be able to understand the Huorns, for Legolas mentions that the Elves helped to wake up the trees. During the time of "The Lord of the Rings",

The Ents were shepherds of trees. They were created by Ilúvatar at the request of Yavanna, to protect trees from the depredations of Elves, Dwarves, and Men. When the Elves first awoke, they "desired to converse with all things", and taught the Ents to speak.

Tolkien stated that the original name of Lothlórien, Lórinand or the "Valley of Gold", was chosen by Galadriel with a reference to the "mallorn" trees; "The Lord of the Rings" adds that the trees became the most famous property of the realm among other peoples of Middle-earth, and the land was often known as the "Golden Wood".

By comparing rings from multiple trees, through cross-dating, a dendrochronologists can determine if rings are missing or if false rings are present. Through this process the tree ring record can be used to investigate past climatic conditions. Tropical trees often lack annual rings and ages for these trees can be measured using radiocarbon dating of wood samples from the trees. There are two major listings of

Yavanna and Nienna attempted a healing, but they succeeded only in reviving Telperion's last flower (to become the Moon) and Laurelin's last fruit (to become the Sun). These were turned into flying ships crossing the sky, and each was steered by spirits who were chosen after the 'genders' of the Trees themselves: male Tilion and female Arien. This is why, in "The Lord of the Rings", the Sun is usually referred to as "she" and the moon as "he". However the true light of the Trees,

possibly led to the character name (Sam Gamgee) in J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings". The connection is not certain: in Appendix F to "The Lord of the Rings", Tolkien mentions, but at the same time denies, the reading of "Gamgee" as a pun relating to the name of Sam's wife, Rosie "Cotton". He further elaborates the 'real' Westron names of which 'Gamgee' and 'Cotton' are translations. However, in the same section Tolkien also addresses "hobbit" (which was certainly created first and translated afterward, as described in Tolkien's own comment on the initial writing of "The Hobbit")

On early sketches for "The Lord of the Rings", names as "Barangils" and "Harwan" appear, but it is uncertain if Tolkien intended both to be names from a Haradrim language.

He is introduced in various material relating to the First Age of Middle-earth, including "The Silmarillion". The name is also used for a character in "The Lord of the Rings", which takes place in Middle-earth's Third Age.

On occasion, the people of Gondor in Middle-earth refer to Sauron as "The Enemy" or "The Nameless Enemy" despite knowing his real name; arguably starting the practice of avoiding pronouncing a Dark Lord's actual name. In fact the name Sauron, meaning the Abhorred, itself is already a mockery of his actual name

Saruman is one of several characters in the book illustrating the corruption of power; his desire for knowledge and order leads to his fall, and he rejects the chance of redemption when it is offered. The name "Saruman" () means "man of skill" in the Mercian dialect of Anglo-Saxon; he serves as an example of technology and modernity being overthrown by forces more in tune with nature. Saruman first appears in "The Fellowship of the Ring" (1954), which is the first volume of "The Lord of the Rings". The "Lord of the Rings" describes a

However, the incident sparked a nagging worry in Tolkien's mind, as he recorded in his journal: "For some time I lived in fear of receiving a letter signed 'S. Gollum'. That would have been more difficult to deal with." After publication of "The Lord of the Rings", Tolkien traced the origin of the name back to Gamgee and, eventually, the earlier English surname 'de Gamaches'.

Tolkien uses the abbreviations "CS" for "Common Speech, in original text represented by English", and "LT" for the target language of the translation. His approach is the prescription that if in doubt, a proper name should not be altered but left as it appears in the English original: The names in English form, such as "Dead Marshes", should be translated straightforwardly, while the names in Elvish should be left unchanged.

Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings", "The Hobbit" and "The Silmarillion", a wealth of secondary literature has been published discussing the literary themes and archetypes present in the stories. Tolkien also wrote about the themes of his books in letters to friends, family and fans, and often within the books themselves.
