WOW! To me the word barghest doesn't suggest anything within my ken, so almost any of the answers could be right. I'm gonna throw out of consideration those which refer to barges or rivers as being too close to words I'm comfortable with and a hogmaster's first duty is to confuse, so logic goes out the window. A has already been voted for, though I do like it as sounding sort of Celtic or Gaelic.

But after that, all I have is a bunch of daffynitions that could any one of them be correct.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
