Any guesses?

 

[FayetheAspie]

clue #1

My name is both a historical weapon and something's end.
In the river, my time I'll spend.

I gave a clue.

 

[FayetheAspie]

If no one else tries to guess, I suppose I shall give the answer later today.

 

[FayetheAspie]

The answer is a pike (a type of fish).

It sounds like it is sharp due to sharing it's name with a type of medieval spear as well as a sharp point at the end of an item in general. The S and the C refer to it's swim patterns. It's brain is small. It spends it's time in a river.

Is anyone planning on posting a riddle?

Am I correct in assuming that everyone has lost interest in this thread?

@FayetheAspie, you won. (Sorry, I had other tasks to attend to, and couldn’t really engage with your last riddle, but it was a good one.) You can post another, or ask someone else. Always interested in riddles. @Cutesie hasn’t given us one in a while.

Sometimes I am a ladder; othertimes a chair.
In winter, a part of me is not even there.
I grow up and down
And yet broader around.
What am I ?

No.

For some reason I was not receiving riddle thread notifications, so I assumed nobody was posting new riddles in this thread. Now I know that was not the case.

Just waiting for other answers or another clue, as not enough for me to figure out.

Steps and stairs don't typically grow.

An oak tree. The wood can be used to make ladders and chairs. The leaves are missing in winter. It grows above and below the ground and is usually broad in size around.

@1ForAll
Close enough. A tree in general because the limbs can be climbed (used as a ladder)to reach something higher up. Squirrels birds and occasional humans as well sit on tree limbs like a chair. It grows up, it's roots grow down and it grows still wider around.

I never thought of that, a tree being used as a ladder and chair in that context. That makes sense. I will think of another riddle soon.

I am left open typical nights,
and throughout then most days,
I am closed when things are not right
and for resting and May...days.
So, turn west and on I will go.
Turn east, it will be quieter I know.

What am I?

Cockpit cover on a sport plane?

No. Think inside of home especially.

 

[FayetheAspie]

I don't think a window fits everything.
