pâl f (plural palau)
Etymology 2
Has been considered an extension of etymology 1 on account of the shape of a shearwater's beak.[1] The more recent use of the same word for a puffin parallels a shift in English where puffin used to refer to a Manx shearwater until the 19th century, before coming to refer to Fratercula arctica.

- Synonyms: pâl Manaw, aderyn drycin Manaw
- Atlantic puffin, puffin (Fratercula arctica)[2]
