Maybe you judged it to be 2/3 of a hectare, which has horses, and thus "Neigh" = "No".
Or maybe you judged it to be an eye, and thus "Aye" = "Yes".
Or maybe you judged it to have no meaning, and thus "Refused".

Boy, I wish *crackle* I had a Chinese dictionary!

Let's make up *buzz* a sentence with "mu" dozens of times, like:

"Mother is grave in the evening when she washes her hair and cares for livestock..."
