haver
{{11}}haver (n.1) "oats," Northern English, late 13c., probably from O.N. hafre, from P.Gmc. *habron- (Cf. O.N. hafri, O.S. havoro, Du. haver, O.H.G. habaro, Ger. Haber, Hafer). Buck suggests it is perhaps lit. "goat-food" and compares O.N. hafr "he-goat." "Haver is a common word in the northern countries for oats." [Johnson]
{{12}}haver (n.2) "owner, possessor," late 14c., agent noun from HAVE (Cf. have).
