Small ear, specifically the external ear or ear lobe. In most contexts, refers to an individual ear, often in the diminutive sense (i.e., 'little ear' or 'earlet'). Depending on the context, may denote the physical organ (either for a person or animal), the ear lobe (the lower fleshy part of the ear), or, metaphorically, attentive listening (rare).
