A Fortress is a female Fort.
As a huntress is a female hunter.
***A Fortress is a female Fort.***
Reminds me of an old Johny Hart cartoon THE WIZARD OF ID.
The king is going on a trip and turns over the fortress to Sir Rodney.
He tells him that “IF the Huns attack, RAISE THE DRAWBRIDGE! and the fortress will be IMPREGNABLE”
Later the Huns attack and Sir Rodney yells...”DRAW THE RAISEBRIDGE!”
The King later gets a message... “The Rabbit died.”
