buhr

The Buhr-stone has a straight fracture, but it is not so brittle as flint, though its hardness is nearly the same.

The Buhr-stones usually occur in beds, which are sometimes continuous, and at others interrupted.

The appurtenances of such a mill, even to the very buhr-stones themselves, are fashioned on the spot.

Buhr stone of a superior quality exists in the surrounding hills.

The English Gipsy calls a mermaid a pintni; in Hindu it is bint ool buhr, a maid of the sea.
