[edit]brinily (comparative more brinily, superlative most brinily)
- In a briny or salty way.
- 1914, Thomas Hardy, In Front of the Landscape:
- O they were speechful faces, gazing insistent, / Some as with smiles, / Some as with slow-born tears that brinily trundled / Over the wrecked Cheeks that were fair in their flush-time, ash now with anguish.
