A young sheep or lamb that bleats; a young animal making bleating sounds.
From 'baa' (sheep cry) + '-ling' (diminutive suffix indicating a young creature). Creates a term for a small, vocal sheep.
The '-ling' ending is one of English's cutest patterns—it gives us duckling, gosling, and baahling—all referring to babies that are tiny and often make the sounds their parents make.
