| definition |
- A narrow body of water between islands or leading inland from a larger body of water, often leading to an enclosed body of water, such as a sound, bay, lagoon or marsh. In sea coasts an inlet usually refers to the actual connection between a bay and the ocean and is often called an "entrance" or a recession in the shore of a sea, lake or river.

| Abstract from DBPedia | An inlet is a (usually long and narrow) indentation of a shoreline, such as a small arm, bay, sound, fjord, lagoon or marsh, that leads to an enclosed larger body of water such as a lake, estuary, gulf or marginal sea.入り江（いりえ）とは、海岸や湖の一部が侵食作用によって陸側にえぐるように入り込んでできた地形のことである。浦（うら）、入り海（いりうみ）ともいう。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Inlet) |
