Guest Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 What are we? We are eleven in total but take breather after five. We have four letters that kick of which two are silent. We can be found where there's a white elephant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 WitchOfDoubt Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I feel as if there are enough clues there, but it's not budging. Here is my progress: The answer is an eleven letter word. After five letters, we have a word meaning "a breather" or 'take a breather." One possible format would be: -----REST-- Another would be: -----LUNG--. The four letters that kick could be "FEET" or "MULE" or "KICK". I'm not sure. As for the white elephant clue, it could refer to a white elephant sale, or a big useless object, or a literal white elephant, or something else.

0 plasmid Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I also don't know the answer, but had some other interpretations of the clues in mindI thought the first line would be referring to a multiple word answer with eleven letters total, with the first word having five letters. Four letters that kick, I thought might be "L"s (shaped like a boot). Silent Ls are uncommon, so I thought it might be referring to words with two double Ls (such as "balloon fall") where there are four Ls total but only twice do you hear an L sound. And where can you find a white elephant? Either the answer is something completely fictional, or if it's referring to a useless "gift" it might be found, say, in a closet.

0 Thalia Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) They're real. They're just not exactly white. The page says found in Burma and Thailand. Something found in Thailand or Burma? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant_(pachyderm) Edited January 9, 2012 by Thalia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
