What does FIRTH mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
A narrow inlet of the sea, or the wide mouth of a river where it meets the sea, especially in Scotland.
A firth is the Scottish and northern English word for what other parts of Britain might call an estuary or a sound, and several of the best known examples give their names to whole regions of Scotland. Geographically it can describe anything from a broad river mouth to a long sea loch, and the word is used loosely enough that no single measurement of width or depth defines it precisely.
