Why are these called wind gaps? Was it thought that they were formed by wind? --NE2 01:53, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ambiguous heteronym

The word wind is a heteronym (same spelling, two distinct meanings with differing pronunciations), so it might be useful if this article could identify which this is, either by pronunciation in the lead or by a paragraph on origin of the expression. Does it come from the verb to wind as the river meandered, or from the noun of a wind when air is moved? Artemgy (talk) 17:25, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that it is actually 'Windt's Gap' in the blue mountains, but has since evolved to 'Wind gap' to describe the type of gap. https://books.google.com/books?id=ztMwAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA761&lpg=PA761&dq=Windt%27s+Gap&source=bl&ots=3YkyYBJUrz&sig=ACfU3U0AZpaAkZmHEBz18cDBeDo1lKS4PQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi30ae45rv0AhXWHc0KHUxnCUQQ6AF6BAgQEAM#v=onepage&q=Windt's%20Gap&f=false 24.101.36.178 (talk) 19:36, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
