What do these words&phrases mean? Neither on the Internet nor in the dictionary can I find the exact meaning of the following items. Can you help me out here? cornbalk pasture hill chestnut ridge mother sun Thanks for your answers first. All the items come from"Love" by Jesse Stuart. I don't know if you have heard about him. He was an American writer born in 1907. Do you have problems understanding essays written by writers from your own country if they are very old?Well I'm sorry that I've typed the word wrong. It's actually cornbalk. Let's see if you know this one now.

i don't know what a cronbalk is. a pasture hill sounds like a hill on a field of grass chestnut ridge could be a mountain range or a hill top where there are chestnuts. These also sound a lot like street names, do you have the context? Mother Sun ... i would have to know the context to explain this. Maybe a religious term?

Not quite sure what you mean by cronbalk, but pasture is essentially just land filled with grass and other plants that farm animals such as cows or sheep consume. Maybe that's what a "pasture hill" could possibly be, a low hill where animals graze. "Chestnut ridge" sounds like it's more of a place than a thing. Not entirely sure what a "mother sun" is either, maybe you meant mother-son? Like a mother and son relationship because apart from it being a song by Judas Priest, I can't think of what else it could be.
