Howl ..."Leaves horse in Mediterranean, Laurel!" (3)
I believe the answer is:
bay
I believe this is a quadruple definition!!
'howl' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'leaves' is a link.
'horse' is the second definition.
(bay is a kind of horse)
'in' acts as a link.
'mediterranean' is the third definition.
The answer and definition can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'laurel' is the fourth definition.
(bay is a kind of laurel)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bay that I've seen before include "Reddish-brown horse" , "Small alcove" , "Chestnut" , "Indentation of a shoreline" , "Inlet; shrub" .)
