Yard

Postby amandel » Mon Apr 04, 2022 9:34 pm

As an area of land immediately adjacent to a building, it is a suffix to several words. However, it is not a suffix in "lanyard". And what about the measure length?

A yard can also be a spar, especially on a square-rigged ship, from which the sails are set. The end of such a yard is a "yardarm".
