     Minacis nin ondoj de l' maro.

Already attested as dorna ("container", "concave") in local 10th-century Latin charters. From a pre-Roman substrate of Iberia, from Proto-Celtic *durno- (“fist, hand”) (compare Breton dorn, Irish dorn). The word could have been first a unit of length, later becoming a unit of volume and a container,[1] and later a ship, or either it was a reference to the concavity of the hand. Cognate with Spanish duerna, Occitan dorna and French dorne.
