giltzurrin
Kidney. The numerous var. make the etymology unsure. The form giltz- means "key" in basque, but the roncalese forms have beltz- that may indicate "black".
Riñon. Oscuro porque hay muchas variantes. La forma giltz- es "llave" en vasco, pero las formas roncaleses tienen beltz- que puede indicar "negro".
Rein. Les nombreuses var. rendent difficile l’étymologisation. La forme giltz- signifie "clé" en basque, mais les formes roncalaises ont beltz- qui peut indiquer "noir".
