At the time of the War of the Ring, due to the loss of the Entwives, there had been no new Entings for centuries. Notes 1 The ending '-ing' has at least two possible meanings in this context, though the diminuitive 'little Ents' seems the most appropriate. As a less likely alternative, it might also imply that the Entings belonged to the people of the Ents (as in the Eorlings, those who belonged to the people of Eorl).
