The most widespread way of referring to domesticated animals and, more specifically, to the cattle, horses and mules in Basque speaking areas is ''abere.'' Studies link this term with the Latin ''habere'', in its sense of “property” or “possessions”, with many of its derivatives having the same meaning as head of large livestock or herd animal<ref>Manuel AGUD; Antonio TOVAR. “Materiales para un diccionario etimológico de la lengua vasca (I)” in ''Anuario del Seminario de Filología Vasca «Julio de Urquijo», ''XXII-1 (1988) pp. 282-283.</ref>. Many of the ways of calling those animals adopt that form (''abere''- or ''abre''-) or ''abel-,'' which comes from it. Forms near to the Spanish, such as ''ganadu'' and ''animaliak'', are also used to refer to livestock in general.
