Woses come from a daddy Wose and a mommy Wose.

It is interesting to note that the word "wose" comes from an English word, if a very Old one. It is derived from wuda-wosa, which is "wild men of the woods." I am probably wrong on some detail there, corrections are welcome. Turin was also called a wose by Saeros is Doriath. Turin didn't like it.

Turin's servant Hoppafoot was to be turned into a wose, but Tolkien never got around to it.
