What is a "digraph"?

A digraph is a pair of letters that together represent a single sound or phoneme in a language. This combination can consist of two consonants, two vowels, or a consonant and a vowel. For example, in English, the "ch" in "chair" represents a unique sound that is not the sum of the individual letters' sounds. Similarly, the "ea" in "bread" produces a distinct vowel sound. Digraphs are important in phonetics and linguistics because they help illustrate how sounds are represented in writing, contributing to the understanding of spelling patterns and pronunciation rules in different languages.

What is a "mane"?

A mane is a long, thick growth of hair that extends along the upper neck and back of certain animals, most notably observed in lions and horses. It forms a distinctive feature and often serves both practical and aesthetic purposes. In lions, the majestic mane is primarily found in males and plays a role in displaying dominance and attracting mates. It adds a regal and powerful appearance, emphasizing their stature and providing some protection to the neck during territorial disputes. In horses, the mane is abundant and can be styled in various ways, such as braiding or trimming, for both functional and decorative purposes. It helps to keep the neck warm, provides protection from insects, and can be used for gripping or handling the horse while riding or grooming.

What is an "obelisk"?

An obelisk is a tall, four-sided stone monument with a pyramid-shaped top. It is often used to mark or honor an important figure, event, or location. Obelisks were first created in ancient Egypt, where they were placed in pairs at the entrances of temples. Over time, their design became popular in other cultures, especially in Europe and the United States. Obelisks are typically made from a single piece of stone and are often inscribed with carvings or writing to recognize significant people or events. They are commonly found in parks, squares, or historical sites.
