Aivr

/ˈeɪ.vər/ noun

Definition

An alternative or archaic spelling of 'aiver', a river or watercourse in Scottish dialect.

Etymology

Variant spelling of 'aiver' reflecting older orthographic practices and regional writing conventions before standardization.

Kelly Says

Old Scottish texts show dozens of spelling variations for the same word because spelling wasn't standardized until printing became common—'aivr' and 'aiver' were equally valid ways to write the same sound.
