Comments: Trask (1995) mentions the possibility of derivation from Lat. avule 'grandfather', though, as Trask admits, it should have given Bsq *abure. (The change of *g > b is sporadic in Bsq dialects [see *śagu 'mouse'], but not *b > g). Bouda (1948) compared Bsq + Andi =oχor 'old (of a person)', etc.
