		+	:In the context of JRR's world, and longer-lived hobbits, "in (roughly) the twenties (of age)" is still adolescent and called a "tween", from the "twe(e)nties". ( - assuming similar length days and years! But humans of Middle Earth aren't obviously also age-extended by simple calendar refactoring tricks!)
		+	:But it has probably at least once more been reinvented independently, since then, this time to insteadvprimarily cover the pre-teen/post-single-digits rough range that is perbaps more relevent to the comic scenario. And related terminology.
		+	:When Tolkien coined his own version, ('50s, or earlier), even ''teen''agers were not yet as fully distinct as they are these days, as a widely accepted period of adolescence between childhood and (de facto, if not de jure) adulthood. For those that moved straight from school to work (several years younger than we might expect these days, as well) they were mostly expected and expecting to be treated as switched straight to adults in that era, only starting to get significant amounts of transitional adolescents who were "out of short trousers" (for the boys, at least) but not yet settled as nominal adults. Not all across the class and (in western terms, at least) national divides.
		+	:Though you'll find more historic examples in various subsets of the sociological strata, I am sure ''this'' "tween" is of the current usage and not the LOTR 'parallel' neologism. [[Special:Contributions/82.132.237.27\|82.132.237.27]] 15:31, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

 Just a question: tween really is PRE-adolescent?? I always thought it was the equivalent of ten -> teen for twenty, so someone out of their teens, but in their (presumably early) twenties. I definitely have seen it used as such on different occasions, but it might have been by non-native speakers, as I am not living in an english-speaking country. Also, in my opinion, the rest of the comic has more of a twenty-somethings-who-never-came-out-of-puberty ring to it than a child's.

 :2 minutes ago I thought the same. I definitely saw that usage as an anglicism in German somewhere. However a quick google search proved, that the definition given here (children aged ~9-12) seems to be the actual one. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 08:56, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
