I am thinking of a word. You may ask any question, but I will only answer questions that do not require me to give any similar or related words unless they are already within this topic, this post not included.

Example:

If the word were “Mane”

Question: “Is it found on any animals? If so what animals?”

Answer:“Yes. I cannot say” or [lion has not been said, horse has] “Horses” [lion and horse have been said] “Lions and horses.”

[Thalia]

lol. It's a noun. As for that other response, I'd be surprised if you hadn't heard of it/didn't know what it was. Shouldn't require extensive Googling.

It's just that you specified 5th grade... My mind went places.

Anyway, is it tangible?

[Thalia]

You say that like there were some dirty implications. . . How could you think that? My point was that anyone here should have (I'm assuming you're all at least 12, or a really smart elementary school kid). It is tangible.

Hm.

Is it something seen on the average day?

[OmegaScales]

Is a part of the body, or a part of something else? Or is it the entirety of something?

[Thalia]

It is not seen on the average day nor is it part of another thing. So it is the entirety of something.

[kestrelknight]

How big is it?

[Thalia]

I don't have a ruler but looking at a sheet of paper. . . I'm going to guess mine is about 10 by 4 inches. The ones that are used are probably all somewhere around that size. I've seen much bigger ones but a lot of those if not all are more for little kids who have no clue what it is or what it's used for.

[OmegaScales]

Is it usually a certain color?

[Thalia]

The one I have is brown and black. Probably some gray ones out there. The kiddie ones are brown and yellow and blue and red and. . .

[OmegaScales]

Is it some sort of device, electronic or otherwise?

[Thalia]

Yes. Not of the electronic variety.

[kestrelknight]

Does it have a main material? If so, what is it?

[Thalia]

The one I have and the ones I've seen are mainly wood. Probably some metal ones out there though.

[kestrelknight]

Do most people own one, even if they don't normally see it?

[Thalia]

No.

[OmegaScales]

Can you describe its function at all?

Also, could you get a more accurate measurement than what you stated previously?

[Thalia]

Mine is 9.5 by 4 by 1 inches. As I said before, not all are exactly those dimensions.

It's function. . . this might give it away. It's used for math.

[OmegaScales]

Abacus?

[Thalia]

Yep.

[OmegaScales]

Okay! Got one!

No size.

Tangible?

[OmegaScales]

Noun- yes.

Tangible-no.
