Comments: Cf. PNC *hōwɫ[ā] 'bean(s), lentil'. The relevance of words for 'heather' is uncertain, since the heather plant (Erica) is so different from the pulses, and Bsq words for heather (ilharre, gillar, gindarra, iñarra, añara, etc.) are phonetically diverse and probably indicate blending of originally distinct roots.
