    Fa 🎶 - far

    I think some of our answers reflect the accents that we have in our communities. We really do say far like the musical note fa over here!

    My uncle used to dowse for water with a forked stick. I never knew if it worked but he was successful sometimes. He could have been just very observant as to the lay of the land and know more than he was letting on though.

    This one might be a rule stretcher:

    Senior - señor

    Interesting about the names. My Dad and Grandfather used to dowse too, Linda. I think I can as well but don't have much need for the skill so haven't practiced it much.
