Four Words

I'm not in the mood for a lot of math, but I think there are only 12 combinations of these three words in which kid is always used twice and the other two words are used once.  I don't really care about that since this is a linguistics post.

The arrangements can be categorized into a few different meanings:

1.  An immature goat which is nice to children.

2. An immature goat which is friendly in a general way.

Goat kid, kid friendly 1

Kid goat, kid friendly 1

Goat kid, friendly kid 2

Kid goat, friendly kid 2

Friendly kid, kid goat 2

Friendly kid, goat kid 2

Kid friendly, kid goat 1

Kid friendly, goat kid 1

Kid, kid friendly goat 1

Kid, kid goat, friendly 1

Friendly goat kid, kid 1

Goat, friendly kid, kid --this one may be unintelligible even with helpful commas
