Back to the animals . . .a 'two-fer' this time...
deer, n., pl, deer, (occasionally) deers. 1. any
of several ruminants of the family Cervidae, most of
the males of which have solid, deciduous horns or
antlers. ...
...and
deer-hound, n, one of a Scottish breed of large dogs
having a shaggy, gray, or brindled coat.
A mention of deer (or "occasionally deers") seems appropriate at this time of year as the species Rangifer tarandus, reindeer, comes easily to mind now.
While deerhound reminds me of an old British mystery tale, featuring the mysterious moors surrounding a medieval castle.
Next up . . .the letter 'E ... e '..!!
