  Sounds like it could be the name of a Hobbit. But no, never heard the word used before. I’m from Georgia and live in Virginia. Never been to a mountain wetland or to middle earth

    I think I have only heard the term in:

    • The plural of fan: sci fi stories set in the distant future of 1990, also in early internet fandom
    • The wetland: stories from the UK, embedded in British place names, having a British parent

    I wonder what sort of wetland my local one is, and the nearby swampy grasslands. Both are watered by rain or snowmelt. Both are marked as wetlands on maps
