MK> Huh?

Tolkien refernce,  The Ents were the treeherders and all male.  The females
¨(entwives) took off for more gardenlike spots in the dim past and the
males do ¨not know where they went though they have looked for them many
times.

Remote possibility that the Hobbit (first book) has a reference to them as
well ¨as the first of the trilogy in the Shire when the run into the
'willow with an ¨attitude'.

According to Tolkien, when both have lost everything else, they will again ¨meet.
