Lord of the Nazgul

[Mithadan]

I have always had some difficulty with the prophecy. I am of the camp holding that Merry slew the Nazgul and that Eowyn's blow was an assistance at best. That said, Hobbits are "Men" and Merry was male. I have never considered the idea that "Men" meant males of all races, assuming that the prophecy referred at least to human males if not all humans. Else, why would the Witch King flee from Glorfindel when Angmar was defeated in the North?
