Nabra (Naber)

Word of conflicting meaning: either a shock/stook, or a stack; the difference here seeming to depend on size, where the shock/stook synonyms are primary bundles of sheaves, and the stack is a larger heap or bundle of some 20 or more (see Vihu). Usually specified according to crop, e.g. rukkinaber or odranaber (stook of rye or barley), both of which are preferable on your land to idanabrid (see Teisepere). Or, again, it could be a pile or mound of the grain itself. Given its probable original loan from a Rus. dialectal набóр (nabór, ±‘set’), the former seems more likely. Part of a fodder and staples street-name group. See Orase.
