Squiggs Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 It's spelled "tenfoot" Or if just the really narrow passage between terraced houses as wide as a bicycle handlebar, then "passage" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernStar Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I'd never heard of a ginnel until I moved down here (bloody southerners), to me it is and always will be a snicket though I did quite like the sound of Halibut's twitchell, never heard of that one either but it sounds right enough to me.

TaxiBaz Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Jennel, if it's between houses, and covered by part of either house. Jitty if it's a public path between two houses. Boza speak though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
