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.”

[OmegaScales]

No.

[kestrelknight]

A noun?

[OmegaScales]

Yes.

[kestrelknight]

Huzzah! My turn now...

Okay, people, ask your questions.

[OmegaScales]

No, no, the word isn't "noun", it is a noun.

[Kikacat123]

Is it a proper noun?

[OmegaScales]

No. It is a part of speech, it is classified as a noun, it might or might not be considered a concept depending on who you ask, it is most likely used every day, and as an extra bonus hint, you will hear it if you read this out loud:

The laboratory was at a comfortable temperature all day, causing the scientists to work at a sluggish pace.

[kestrelknight]

Space? That was the only one I caught.

[kukupai]

Pause?

[OmegaScales]

No and no.

[Kikacat123]

Temper?

[OmegaScales]

No.

[Kikacat123]

Is it speech, or perhaps your own voice?

[OmegaScales]

No.

Keep asking questions about speech related things and you'll probably get it eventually.

By the way, it was in the previous sentence.

[kestrelknight]

Is it a sentence? Or a word, maybe?

[OmegaScales]

Like I said before, it's not something you see. It is something you hear.

[Kikacat123]

A question? Or maybe language? A dialect or accent?

[OmegaScales]

It is definitely more evident with some accents. As far as I know, every language has it. It is not a question, nor the word "question".

[kukupai]

Hiss, hissing?

[OmegaScales]

Nope.

[Kikacat123]

Does it have anything to do with specific words?

[OmegaScales]

There are specific words that it is more evident in than others.

[OmegaScales]

Hint time!

It starts with the letter "E". I'm sure you guys would've asked eventually, but I'm getting a little impatient.

P.S. I don't really think hints should be available anymore, but I'll wait to see if you need 1 more. After this, or the next hint, there will be no more.

[Kikacat123]

Emphasis? Eloquence? Euphemism? If none of the previous, what is an antonym or synonym of this?

[OmegaScales]

Nope, nope, nope. Articulate. I'm not saying if it's a synonym or antonym. That would make it too easy.
