Balbuties

Random word: Balbuties

Some dictionaries list this word as a synonym for "stammering." Others list it as a specific type of stammering where all consonants become "B" and "L".

Abalone

I am writing a haiku a day for the next 7 days using a word generator.

The first word is "ear shell" which is another word for abalone.
There are seven types of abalone indigenous to California: red, pink, green, black, white, flat, and pinto. The red abalone is the most common.
