Drúedain
The Drúedain are a fictional race of Men which were counted amongst the Edain, who made their way into Beleriand in the First Age, and were friendly to the Elves. They are part of the Middle-earth legendarium created by J. R. R. Tolkien. == Names and etymology ==
The Drúedain called themselves ''Drughu''. When the Drúedain settled in Beleriand, the Sindarin Elves adapted this to ''Drû'' (plurals ''Drúin'', ''Drúath'') and later added the suffix ''-adan'' "man", resulting in the usual Sindarin form ''Drúadan'' (plural ''Drúedain'').〔''Unfinished Tales'', "The Drúedain", p. 385, note 8.〕 Tolkien also used the form ''Drûg'', with a regular English plural ''Drûgs''.〔''Unfinished Tales'', "The Drúedain", p. 377, 379.〕 ''Drughu'' became ''Rú'' in Quenya, with the later suffixed form ''Rúatan'' (plural ''Rúatani'').〔 The Orcs called the Drúedain ''Oghor-hai''.〔 The word used for them by the Rohirrim during the Third Age was represented by Tolkien as ''Púkel-men'',〔''The Return of the King'', "The Muster of Rohan".〕〔''Unfinished Tales'', "The Drúedain", p. 384.〕 which includes the Anglo-Saxon word ''púcel'' "goblin, troll" (surviving also in Shakespeare's "Puck" and Kipling's "Pook's Hill").
