'''Heivra''' — the plucked and strummed gut-string instrument. Cheap, portable, and in every tavern in the world.

== Notes ==
Six gut strings over a hollow body, no mechanism of any kind, and a thing a working man
can afford. It is the instrument a person learns on, which means it is the instrument most
often heard played badly.

[[The Iron Coves]] runs on them, being the only instrument nobody needs a guild to be
taught. See [[Music and Animei]].

The Proto form was a pre-Fall phrase naming a song rather than an instrument; the first
element was already lost by the Middle period, and nobody living knows what either half
once meant.
