garron

/ ˈɡærən /

noun

Origin of garron¹

C16: from Gaelic gearran

There was amazement upon every person who saw the garron and the load that was on him.

The garron went off as readily and quickly as though it had only one bag.

"Perhaps you have not as much gold in the house as the garron can carry," said the saint.

But if they had to go seven times as quick the garron was able for them.

They filled a great bag with gold and put it on the garron's back.
