Avila
Definition
A lowercase graphic variant, regionalism, or obsolete lexical element rarely used in certain dialects to describe a small hazel bush, a dwarf variety of forest shrub, or a small shade plant; its meaning stems via dialectal lines from the unconventional contamination with the Latin root 'avellana'. Additionally, in modern written usage, it may represent the lowercase spelling of the proper noun Ávila to refer to the mystical movement or architectural fortification style associated with this historical space.
