For the long, narrow, deep inlet between cliffs, I think "fissure" and/or "fault" should be acceptable. Unless theres some reason those don't work...

I don't know if this is true for anyone else, but has anyone ever felt like a word looks like what it means? I mean, I look at the words 'gem' and 'jewel' and they just seem... like, you know... like jewels? I'm not the greatest at explaining myself, so try to bear with me. And the words 'gold' and 'silver' seem the same way, and 'flower', 'flora', 'fauna', 'fawn', 'kitten', etc. It's just weird, but... I like it.

Yeah, there's some evidence that the sounds of words are related to their meanings.

I get what you mean, I dont have it strongly but a little bit. You get sort of an image with the word, but it is not like you think of a donkey because you read the word donkey. It is more of a feeling. That the word itself personifies it.

I guess maybe other people might ( not sure, ) have it when reading the name of a friend. that they dont see it as the word for them, but really them.

Hard to explain indeed, especially that you dont mean just thinking of whatever the word means.

it is something very different a faun is a mythological creature nothing to do with a baby deer.

Hmm suddenly comes to mind, philly is the name for baby horse right? sounds related etymologically. Thought of it because I first thought of veulen which it is in dutch, and sounds a lot like fawn ( and philly depending on where you emphasize and which letters are mumbled more. If you dont pronounce the l much it sounds like fawn and if you dont pronounce the n much it sounds like philly. (which both happen in different dialects here)

I think the word you are referring to for baby horse is Foal. I also tried that first. Filly is used in American English at least to refer to a female horse. (It may or may not have to do with female horses of childbearing age.)

Filly is a female foal, like a colt is a male foal.

I know what you mean. I usually get them all but sometimes I just get flummoxed by a word or two.

I guess if the clue doesn't stimulate your brain in the right way, it's hard to jump-start that connection and know what word is meant. Generally I find the clues pretty sharp, though.

could ve gotten fjord frugal and fennel.

Would never ve gotten filibuster feint (thought faux-something) fatwa flotilla and frogman. Some of these I have never even heard of.

It’s interesting that I said “feign” as well. At first I skipped it because no word popped into my head. But then, as I went through a second time that word just came to me so I put it in. Obviously it didn’t work, but it sounds so much like the real answer that I know I must have heard it at some point in my life. Also “feign” does mean to pretend, so it fits the clue, too. I’m not saying it should count, but I think the whole process was interesting and memory can be a very strange thing.

Bruh, "Cylinder-shaped red hat of the Ottoman Empire" is nonsense, Fez is literally a Moroccan city from where the hat is made !

Bruh, just look it up on Wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fez_(hat)

The name "fez" refers to the Moroccan city of Fez, where the dye to color the hat was extracted from crimson berries. However, its origins are disputed.

The modern fez owes much of its popularity to the Ottoman era. The fez became a symbol of the Ottoman Empire in the early 19th century.
