hälar

Hälar is a Swedish plural noun meaning heels, the rear part of the foot. The singular form is häl, and the definite plural is hälarna. In everyday language as well as medical or anatomical contexts, hälar refers to the heels of humans or animals.

The term is commonly used when describing parts of the anatomy, gait, posture, and injuries or conditions related to the feet. It also appears in discussions of footwear, sports, and body mechanics, where the heel plays a role in balance and movement. The word functions as a regular noun with standard Swedish inflection: indefinite plural hälar and definite plural hälarna.

As a proper noun, Hälar is not known to denote a widely recognized geographic location, organization, or historical entity in major encyclopedic sources. If used as a surname or place name, it would be considered a rare or context-dependent instance rather than a widely established entry.
