Description and behaviour
Form and usage:
According to Kleinschmidt [14], this stem denotes 'eye shade', i.e. the brim of a hat or cap. Schults-Lorentzen [17] also adds 'visor', i.e. to shade the eyes, but also records a separate meaning 'awning; canopy'. This meaning is likely derived by extension from the others.
