Revision as of 20:37, 22 June 2011 by Morgan (Talk | contribs)

Lassemista was one of the rowans of Fangorn Forest, much beloved by the Ent Bregalad. It was cut down by Orcs of Isengard, arousing the anger of this impulsive Ent.[1]

Etymology

In a letter, Tolkien explained that lassemista means "leaf-grey" in High-elven (Quenya).[2]
