FOEHR
in reply to a message by Clara
The German "Föhre" means "pine." It has the same root as "fir."
"Fohre" can also be a kind of fish.
"Fahren" means "to travel", and vowels may change easily.All of this is just guessing.

My dictionary tells me that there is a dialect word, Foehre, meaning "fir tree".
Welcome back Andy.
