Reading edition
This may be well illustrated by showing the various forms which the word Traver has assumed, and the false etymologies it has given rise to. The word is properly Treabhar, and in John O’Dugan’s Forus Focail, quoted by O’Reilly, it is glossed by Taobhnocht, a naked side. It does not occur in Wales.
