võrel

Võrel is a term that appears in certain Estonian dialects, referring to a collection of small, thin sticks or twigs, often bundled together. This bundle of wood could be used for various practical purposes. Historically,võrel might have been used as kindling for starting fires, its dry, brittle nature making it effective for catching a spark. It could also have served as a component in rudimentary construction or repairs, perhaps for weaving into fences or as filler material. In some contexts, it may have also referred to a type of brush or broom made from such materials, used for sweeping. The precise meaning and usage of võrel could vary significantly depending on the specific region and the time period in which it was used. While not a common term in modern standard Estonian, it offers a glimpse into the vocabulary of rural and traditional life.
