Emotions can be so strong that they cannot be expressed in any type of words. For example, when some people get extremely angry, they start sputtering and stammering, because they are so angry that their brains don't let them speak. I think that is what happened to Treebeard. He had just seen the "corpses" of many of his friends. It could be comparable to walking in a room, and finding the corpses of half the population of the Downs lying dead all over the place. A very shocking and enraging sight, to be sure! That rage galvanized Treebeard and the rest of the Ents, and provided that little bit of recklessness that was required for the March on Isengard.
