‘The next day it was proclaimed that the Folkmoot for Judgement should be held on the morning following, for already five hundred of the headmen had come in, and that was by custom deemed the least number which might count as a full meeting of the Folk.’ A similar scene is described in chapter vii of William Morris's The House of the Wolfings, entitled ‘The folk-mote of the Mark-men’. This kind of compound is imitated in Tolkien's word entmoot, the great gathering of ents at which the decision is (very gradually) taken to destroy Isengard. Many members of the Tolkien Society are also familiar with the considerably livelier event known as ‘Oxonmoot’—the Society's annual gathering in Oxford.

Moreover, local governance was neither participative in scope nor democratic in conception. Typically, traditionally village affairs, including allocation of rights over the commons, were managed variously by hereditary headmen acting on behalf of the villagers, or by caste/tribal/village councils, or by feudal lords. In other words, unlike in Tolkien's imagined Middle Earth there is little evidence of any tradition akin of an Entmoot, let alone of one which provided space and voice to women.

What if I'm gay for Tolkien?” “Dude, seriously, not that it's gonna matter in 30 seconds, but what is your problem?” “Well, besides Lana ditching me--” “For what? An entmoot? You know, because she's got those big ass tree hands?”

The second subcomponent is the research done on an individual level or though the workings of an entmoot that develop and completely cultivate the original thought. After everyone in that entmoot—our co-sponsors and sponsor—believe that they have reached a conclusion, or the individual studying on his own has successfully petitioned (for example) a hundred individuals in favor of a proposal, either the entmoot or the individual may then take the idea to the governing body, such as officials at city hall.
