What does LINHAY mean in Scrabble?
noun
regional
A farm building open along one side, usually with a lean-to roof, used for sheltering animals or storing tools and hay.
A linhay is a typical outbuilding of the English West Country, especially Devon, where a row of such sheds often stands against a farmyard wall. The open front lets cattle or carts move in and out freely while the roof keeps off the rain. The word is rare outside regional and farming contexts, and it is a useful short entry for word-game players.
