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。
