Why Entwives? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I do beleive that entwives are the names for only the married ents, not for all female ents, because in the book, in the chapter Treebeard, Treebeared describes at least his entwife in the past tense referring to her as "when she was an entmaiden" or something along those lines. So I beleive there is a distinction, but I beleive by that time there probably were not any entmaidens left, all just entwives
