First Page Mentioned (By Name) : ch. “Race to the Sea” – pg. 112

From the Early Gothic root ' bhel- ', which means to 'blow' or 'swell', a bellows is a specific type of air circulation system often used for blacksmithing. It has also come to be used as an adjective for a person who speaks loudly and/or often. A bellowish person may yell frequently, or someone may bellow out a warning in time to save the day! Ava has sometimes been accused of being bellowish (unfairly, in her opinion, I mean, when you are excited, you get to be loud, don't you!?).
