That was a fascinating read, thank you for sharing! The fact that Tolkien's world can be analyzed to this degree and still make sense is absolutely mind boggling to me.

Indeed, an excellent article. My favourite line:

The Thain was the nominal Head of State for the Shire, and had the authority to summon the moot and muster in times of emergency, but this was mostly ceremonial, given the lack of emergencies.
