barn

Explanation

The "ow" sound in the English word "cow" sounds quite similar to this final. Cows are of course found at the barn, so we chose a [-ao] barn to represent the final.
  1. The front of the [-ao] barn is quite muddy and full of various farm animals.
  2. The inside of the [-ao] barn mainly contains cows and a bunch of stored hay.
  3. The basement is a cellar that contains milk bottles and other farm supplies.
  4. The bathroom is in a sorry state, with a pile of manure in the corner and a not very well functioning toilet.
