=Page 163.=--[163.1] =Carrero=. Some of the names applied to these _bajos_ have a meaning, others seem to be fanciful. _Huesos de San Pedro_ is evident. _Torno_ means peg, lathe, wheel, etc. _Furada_ is from _furar_, an Asturian word meaning to bore (_horadar_). _Carrero_ has the meaning of driver, carter, which, however, does not seem to fit here.
