Ghân-buri-Ghân is the image of the Púkel-men statues brought to life. Ghân uses the word 'Wild Man' to describe his people because he knows that is a word the Riders can relate to.
Other names for them are: Woses and Drúedain They refer to themselves as Drughu which is how the Sindarin name, Drúedain was formed. They are an ancient people dating back to the First Age and arrived in middle among the Folk of Haleth. They were only a few hundred in number and lived in small tribes in friendship with the Folk of Haleth. They were unlovely to look upon and stumpy.
Théoden seems to find that Ghân speaks shrewdly and accepts the headman's offer to lead the Riders through the Stonewain Valley via an unused road that has been long forgotten. What do the Wild Men expect in return and does this seem like reward enough for helping the Riders?
At first, does Théoden doubt that the headman and his people will have much to offer the Riders?
What impression do the Men of the Mark have of the Wild Men through past encounters with them?
Ghân makes a comment that the Rohirrim used to hunt the Wild Men like beasts. Why do you think that was?
Do Théoden and Ghân both take leave of each other with a new respect for the other?
What else do we know of the Drúedain?
Why do the Drúedain hate Orcs?
Was Ghân-buri-Ghân really laughing?
