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 Pronunciation o'ghor-high Meaning oghor is uncertain, but hai means 'people' Other names Drû, Drû-folk, Drúath, Drúedain, Drughu, Drûg-folk, Drûgs, Drúin, Púkel-men, Rógin, Rú, Rúatani, Wild Men of the Woods, Woses Indexes: Alphabetical: O Men About this entry: Updated 13 September 2013 This entry is complete The Orcs’ name for the Drúedain Years of the Trees First Age I Second Age II Third Age III Fourth Age IV The name used by the Orcs to describe that race of Men otherwise known as the Drúedain or Woses. The two races bore a deep enmity for one another dating back to the First Age, when the Drúedain of Beleriand allied themselves with the Edain against the Orcs. The Orcs feared the Oghor-hai greatly, and especially their mysterious 'watch-stones', believing them to have uncanny and dangerous powers. The origin of the name Oghor-hai is not fully understood. The ending -hai indicates that it refers to a race or people (as in Uruk-hai or Olog-hai), but the word Oghor is nowhere explained. Most other names for the Drúedain - including the word Drúedain itself - mean 'Wild Men', so it might perhaps be speculated that Oghor is an Orkish equivalent. See also...
