As I said before, I do not claim to have spotted the Entwives. I only claim to have found something that meshes with what I've read from that Teleporno chap. And no, I haven't read everything he's written. I'm a busy guy.

As far as the "inconsistency" that I've found that could possibly hint that there is something more than meets the eye going on... it's something absolutely stupid that most would explain away by saying "It's magic, phantom!" or something similar.

Let's see if that helps you. Something "magical" happens in the second half of TTT- something that, if you refuse to believe in the magic of the situation, could be used as further evidence of Entwives in that location. And I say "further" because there is already some amount of evidence in Tolkien's wording. Though naturally evidence can be found where none exists if you are looking hard enough.

And the joke angle mentioned earlier- I did not confirm it without first assuming that one existed in the first place. After making that assumption I was then able to concede that it was possible that a joke was present in the passage. I did not attempt to discover what precisely the joke was, though I have some idea. I'm not really concerned with it. In my mind it is the most subjective evidence we have, and so I'm ignoring it as we can neither prove nor refute it. Twas the wording and magical event that jumped out at me when I read the passage.

(I was not looking for the Entwives when I read it.)
