fevel

Fevel is a term that can refer to several different concepts, most commonly a type of small, flying insect or a colloquial term for a minor, often annoying, problem. In some regions, particularly in older vernacular, fevel may describe a gnat or midge, a tiny biting fly that congregates in swarms, especially near water sources. These insects are often a nuisance to humans and livestock during warmer months. The sound they produce is sometimes described as a "feveling."

Alternatively, "fevel" can be used informally to denote a trifling difficulty or a slight complication. This usage is typically found in casual conversation and is not a formal or technical term. For example, someone might say, "There was a small fevel with the paperwork, but it's sorted now." This usage implies a minor setback that was easily overcome. It is important to note that the specific meaning of "fevel" can depend heavily on context and regional dialect. There is no widely recognized scientific or technical definition for "fevel" outside of these informal or regional applications.
