den
Bear's home turf
A den is the home of a wild and often ferocious animal, like a lion.
In a family home, and in somewhat dated use, a den is a comfortable family room for leisure activity.
Some dens are places where illegal and immoral things happen (gambling den, den of iniquity).
Some English dialects that convert the sound /th/ to /d/ may use den as the eye dialect spelling for then.
