A riddle of my own composition. I want to see if it is too easy or too hard to solve. Thanks!

Solved (OC) I may have solved an Irish riddle from years ago
I did not find a solution anywhere on the internet, the original post https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/s/gE7ZIxzq58 is locked, other posts which think they found the answer are also locked, and no satisfying answer.
But I think I solved it: The answer is I as in the line I. It is in K in Kerry, at the beginning and then in k in cork at the end, meaning it is sooner (older) in Kerry. Three of it in Dublin in D, b and l and also in h in north - the "biggest" might be that it is larger than the smaller line in t, or just a flavour text. You find one in F in france, and one in p in spain (the original author mentioned they are there because of unusual circumstance, which I think is the p as it is "downward"). If you met me the wrong way might mean that the line laying looks like a bar or a barrier and if you walk into it you will never walk again? Or it could mean that you cannot spell walk without it because it is there twice in l and k, or that if you would pronouce it as i instead of an L in walk, it does not make sense. Also the riddle ends with What am I, so the answer is I?
There was some help from the original poster, saying It's something that is uniquely Irish and the instances in France and Spain are due to an unusual circumstance
Uniquely Irish could refer to the I in Irish, could be that it is Ayrish as related to Aye, the letter I? It is all a bit of a stretch but the closest to a real riddle answer.

Help OP Solve My word gameβs subreddit unlocked a secret riddle on 24 August: βNot a metaphor. Like one, though.β It points at one hidden word. My players narrowed it to four candidates but cannot link any of them to the riddle, and I promised not to help. Can you get them over the line?
Creator here. Wordy Bunch is a daily word game that runs on Reddit, and I hid twenty secret words in it as a kind of reverse Easter egg. When someone finds one, the whole subreddit is shown a title and a short riddle, and the intended fun is working backwards from the riddle to the word.
Seventeen of us found this one on 24 August, and my players have been deducing it since. They were down to four candidate words when I first posted this. Their working so far is posted in the subreddit r/WordyBunch.
Edit: the four are now two: Fourth and Fourths. Nobody can make the riddle fit either of them, which is exactly where a fresh pair of eyes comes in. And a right deduction does get its payoff in the end: the game itself confirms it in play, in its own time.
If you skip everything else, the whole puzzle is this: a hidden word earned the title Like a Natural. The game explained that title with one line: "Not a metaphor. Like one, though." The word is either Fourth or Fourths. Which one, and what is the reasoning? You do not need to see or play the game to have a go at that.
I know the answer and I have promised them I will not confirm or deny anything, here or there. Even a passing thought on what the riddle's wording is doing would genuinely help them. No pressure either way, and thanks for reading.
Ps mods I guess this is more of a help our subreddit solve hope you guys don't mind me posting here now and again.
