	Firth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bodies of water named "firths" tend to be commoner on the east coast, or in the south west of the country, although the Firth of Lorne is an exception to this.
		A firth is generally the result of glaciation and very often associated with a large river, where erosion caused by the tidal effects of incoming sea water passing upriver has widened the riverbed to an estuary, such as may be seen in the Firth of Clyde.
		The Firth of Thames is a bay at the mouth of the Waihou/Thames River in New Zealand.

	Firth of Clyde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Firth of Clyde forms a large area of coastal water, sheltered from the Atlantic ocean by the Kintyre peninsula which encloses the outer firth in Argyll and Ayrshire, Scotland.

(P1 171, P2 135).
		Firth places his own hopes on ‘generalization’ as a means to ‘avoid the appalling consequences of the continuous change of content in all expressions of a living language and of the belief that meaning can only be real in individual instances of human invention’ (P2 118; cf.

	Boston.com / A&E / Movies / For fortysomethings, a Firth-rate fantasy
		Firth might not be the ever-alluring bad boy (a la Hugh Grant, with whom he co-stars in ''The Edge of Reason" and with whom he is frequently compared), but Firth does possess the ability, say his fans, to ''smolder": the emotive eyes, the 6-foot stature, the tousled brown locks, the commanding British voice.
		Firth, who has been acting since the early '80s, was a known commodity in Britain before ''Pride and Prejudice." And since then, roles in ''Love Actually," ''What a Girl Wants," and ''Girl With a Pearl Earring" have brought him greater recognition on this side of the Atlantic.
		The fact that Firth was relegated to supporting roles in both ''The English Patient" (as Kristin Scott Thomas's cuckolded husband) and ''Shakespeare in Love" (as Gwyneth Paltrow's jilted fiance), irks Firth fans to no end.

		Firth's second-greatest moment of American exposure came when he played the offensive and loutish Lord Wessex in Shakespeare in Love, Viola's schlubby, cuckolded fiancé.
