Augüera

Augüera (Asturian language)

Augüera is an Asturian word referring to a gully, ditch, or small ravine, typically formed by erosion. It can also describe a narrow, steep-sided depression in the landscape. The term often implies a natural formation caused by water runoff or other erosive forces. The size and depth of an augüera can vary, but it is generally smaller than a valley. In rural Asturian communities, the word is commonly used in the context of agriculture and land management to describe features of the local terrain. The word's etymology is related to the Latin word "aqua," meaning water, highlighting the primary force behind the formation of these landscape features.
