Merlon
No, it's not a wizard and it's not a bird. That would be a merlin.
This is a merlon: the part of a fortified castle that juts up between two crenels (gaps or open areas).
Can you find the merlons on this castle?

I learned this word from your book!
I always wondered what they were called. Thanks for increasing my knowledge. I will have to remember the word so I can use it in my writing. :)
