 PH> All plays on the word "tern", which is a bird which
inhabits the seashore.

I know what a tern is. Caught one with a rod once.

 PH> The proper spelling would be "turnover" - a pastry - and
"turnip" - a

Know the word turnip as well and sure, it's French.
A play with words like this is unable for me to understand or translate.
