the pronounciation is with "h" and the meaning should be argile. At least
that is the pronounciation in Rom. and that is the meaning. The word is seen
not as a directly loan from Latin but as a loan from Bulgarian in Rom; of
course the pronounciation with "h" is interesting here specialy that
regionaly the word is spooken "gum�" but the meaning remains the
same -argile- .
