bays
Hounds' mournful cries
Bays collects several unrelated words.
A bay is a body of water partly enclosed by land—larger than a cove, smaller than a gulf.
A bay is also a recessed section of a building or vehicle: a loading bay, a parking bay.
Bay leaves come from the laurel tree, used in cooking.
A bay horse is reddish-brown.
To bay is to howl, especially of hounds pursuing prey; to hold something at bay is to keep it from advancing.
The dogs bayed at the moon.
