arrow » narrow
Spotted in the wild:
- Some of these trees stand out like the mighty sentinels of the ages, towering heavenward, 200 or 300 feet in height, straight as a narrow and free from limbs until the top is reached, and from four to six feet in diameter. (link)
- I had been making a conscious effort that week more than normal to fly straight as a narrow and to be the righteousness of God. (link)
- I only went as far as the nearest bit of tidal water, which thanks to the magic of the Hundred Foot Drain (which runs straight as a narrow forty miles from Denver Sluice up to Earith) is only actually about ten miles away. (link)
Created via metanalysis, just like _an apron_ (from _a napron_).
Possible influence of the plural _narrows_ (AHD4):
>1. A body of water with little width that connects two larger bodies of water.
>2. A part of a river or an ocean current that is not wide.
