This word can also be used metaphorically or in compound words to describe things that resemble feathers in shape or function. For example: a bird's feather「鳥の羽」(とりのはね). The angel has beautiful feathers「天使は美しい羽を持っている」(てんしはうつくしいはねをもっている). Note that '羽' can also refer to wings in some contexts, but the primary and most common meaning is 'feather'.

翌年: next year. The Japanese noun '翌年 (よくねん)' means 'the following year' or 'next year' in relation to a specific point in time. It is often used to refer to the year immediately after a particular event or year. For example: He moved to Tokyo the following year「彼は翌年に東京に引っ越した」(かれはよくねんにとうきょうにひっこした). The company was founded in 1990, and it expanded overseas the next year「その会社は1990年に設立され、翌年に海外に進出した」(そのかいしゃは1990ねんにせつりつされ、よくねんにかいがいにしんしゅつした). Note that '翌年' is more formal and specific compared to '来年 (らいねん)', which simply means 'next year' from the current perspective.
