Location Originally widespread, with populations in Beleriand and Númenor; by the end of the Third Age, they were apparently restricted to the Drúadan Forest and Drúwaith Iaur Race Men Division Drúedain Pronunciation droo'gs Meaning This name was given to themselves by this people; its meaning is not known1 Other names Drû, Drû-folk, Drúath, Drúedain, Drughu, Drûg-folk, Drúin, Oghor-hai, Púkel-men, Rógin, Rú, Rúatani, Wild Men of the Woods, Woses Indexes: Alphabetical: D Men About this entry: Updated 30 November 2008 Updates planned: 1 The people known as the Drúedain Years of the Trees First Age I Second Age II Third Age III Fourth Age IV One of many names used for a race known to the Elves as Drúedain, or to later generations of Men as 'Woses'. The name Drûgs was used in Brethil in the First Age, where a uniquely close relationship developed between these people and the Folk of Haleth, the Edain that inhabited that forest region. It comes ultimately from their own name for themselves, though the correct plural form in their own language would be Drughu. Notes 1 In Sindarin, the word drû meant 'wild' or 'untamed'. That meaning seems to have grown out of association with the Drûgs, but it is hardly likely to have been the intended meaning of their own name for their race. See also...
