Lassemista

From Tolkien Gateway

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[edit | edit source]

Lassemista is Quenya for "leaf-grey",[2] being a compound of lassë ("leaf") + mista ("grey").[3]
