2009 July 23, Peter Gilliver, Jeremy Marshall, Edmund Weiner, “Word Studies”, in The Ring of Words: Tolkien and the Oxford English Dictionary, illustrated, reprint edition, OUP Oxford, →ISBN, page 168:‘The next day it was proclaimed that the Folkmoot for Judgement should be held on the morning following, for already five hundred of the headmen had come in, and that was by custom deemed the least number which might count as a full meeting of the Folk.’ A similar scene is described in chapter vii of William Morris's The House of the Wolfings, entitled ‘The folk-mote of the Mark-men’. This kind of compound is imitated in Tolkien's word entmoot, the great gathering of ents at which the decision is (very gradually) taken to destroy Isengard. Many members of the Tolkien Society are also familiar with the considerably livelier event known as ‘Oxonmoot’—the Society's annual gathering in Oxford.
2010 July 29, Bina Agarwal, “From Absence to Negotiated Presence”, in Gender and Green Governance: The Political Economy of Women's Presence Within and Beyond Community Forestry, illustrated edition, Oxford University Press, →ISBN, page 90:Moreover, local governance was neither participative in scope nor democratic in conception. Typically, traditionally village affairs, including allocation of rights over the commons, were managed variously by hereditary headmen acting on behalf of the villagers, or by caste/tribal/village councils, or by feudal lords. In other words, unlike in Tolkien's imagined Middle Earth there is little evidence of any tradition akin of an Entmoot, let alone of one which provided space and voice to women.
2013 January 24, Adam Reed & Chris Provenzano, “The Wind Cries Mary” (18:58 from the start), in Archer, season 4, episode 2, spoken by Sterling Archer (H. Jon Benjamin):“Yeah, that's our Lana. Let's see. So judging from the shell ejection, she was firing at, what I really hope was not an ent, because that is like the last thing we need. An entmoot. Oh my god. What if I'm gay for Tolkien?” “Dude, seriously, not that it's gonna matter in 30 seconds, but what is your problem?” “Well, besides Lana ditching me--” “For what? An entmoot? You know, because she's got those big ass tree hands?”
2016 August 10, Michael Stansfield, “Practical Direct Democracy... ...for the Humanist”, in Hiraeth, illustrated edition, Lulu.com, →ISBN, page 112:The second subcomponent is the research done on an individual level or though the workings of an entmoot that develop and completely cultivate the original thought. After everyone in that entmoot—our co-sponsors and sponsor—believe that they have reached a conclusion, or the individual studying on his own has successfully petitioned (for example) a hundred individuals in favor of a proposal, either the entmoot or the individual may then take the idea to the governing body, such as officials at city hall.
2019 July 31, Michael Stansfield, “Failures of Past Democracies”, in Jezreel Part 1 of Enlightenment in the Biblical Evolution Revolution Series, Lulu.com, →ISBN, page 37:Entmoot dynamics, when each member fills a lacking void in the entmoot itself, brings refinement and improvement to the proposal creation process by providing unique perspectives and shades of light to the idea, unseen or unrealized by the sponsor.
2020 February 13, Michael Stansfield, “Failures of Democracies”, in Anthology of the Biblical Revolution Evolution Series, Lulu.com, →ISBN, page 295:Entmoot, from the Dutch word, Entmoet, meaning to gather, is a mythical form of consensus building without time constraints where all ideas and opinions of descent are thoroughly considered and dwelt upon. For the purposes of discussion, a sponsor is the original author who contemplated and initiated the foundational idea. A cosponsor is a member of an entmoot consisting of the proposal sponsor, who may enlist other cosponsors, each of whom has voluntarily committed themselves to the specific single proposal, through the formal written agreement with the sponsor.
2020 October 18, Diane Anthony, The Remnant, volume 2, Authors 4 Authors Publishing, →ISBN, page 6:"Where were you and your group headed?" he asks with a sharp edge to his voice. I make a big dramatic sigh. "Fine. I really shouldn't tell you this. We were on our way to an Entmoot." "What is an ‘Entmoot’?" "I can't be sure. I was told it's where the wisest come together to discuss things. They say it takes a really long time for anything to be resolved."
2022 November 6, Diane Anthony, chapter 2, in The Rare Trilogy Omnibus, Authors 4 Authors Publishing, →ISBN, page 175:"I used my silencer, but I'm sure someone still heard it. You need to leave quickly." "What about the guy in the hallway?" I ask, remembering the guy who told fauxhawk what an Entmoot was. "I don't know who you're referring to. Nobody was out there when I got here. Now, hurry up!"
