I must say, Kath, that your subscribing to the absurd notion that Glirdan could be so irresponsible as to accidentally narrow down the options for the last wolf to two is unlike one of your intelligence...

I'm sure Glirdan will be happy to clarify that the last wolf is not necessarily a man. You may consider it endemic sexism, but "he" is in society-especially in Middle-Earth society of the Third Age, and even in the Seventh Age-used as shorthand for "they", "it", even, very possibly, in this case "she". It's a case of linguistic patriarchalism, and your attempt to exploit it to clear yourself and pin the blame on others looks very much like desperation.

Especially as the wolf needs to get two innocents lynched to win. Why, there happen to be two males.

I will reserve judgement until I've answered my own questions and seen the answers of a few others, but to me-much to my regret-Kath is looking dangerous, despite her Valier vote. Throwaway wolf-for-wolf votes have become lynches before, and will do so, I've no doubt, again.
