AVVER.

(For the Mirror.)

The word "Avver" has doubtless the same origin as the German word "Hafer" "Haber" which signifies in English, oat.

In some parts of Germany a pap of oatmeal "Haferbrei" is very common as breakfast of the lower classes. Of "Haferbrod" oatbread, I only heard in 1816, when the other sorts of grain were so very scarce in Germany.
