"Embogue" is a Spanish word that refers to a river mouth or an estuary. There are several synonyms in English that convey similar meanings. These synonyms include inlet, bayou, creek, marsh, mangrove, and lagoon. Inlet refers to any narrow passage of water leading into the land from a larger body of water. Bayou is a slow-moving, often stagnant stream or channel of water that is common in the southern United States. On the other hand, creek refers to a small, narrow stream that flows through ditches, ravines, or gullies. Marsh is a low-lying wetland that is typically flooded by tides or overflowing rivers. Meanwhile, mangrove and lagoon are terms used to describe an estuarine or coastal wetland area characterized by shallow water and dense vegetation.
