Both Corominas and José María Iribarren agree in attributing to the word "spade" (see below) a Basque origin: laia. Derivatives: laiatu (Layar) laiari (layador) ...

agricultural

This instrument has to be, given their elemental nature, very primitive (as is the Basque word itself "laia") and has been used until the middle of last century in places which was not plowing. But long before the plow, in the early farming this land of the western Pyrenees (a little less than 6000 years), had to use some kind of stick for digging to prepare for planting. The fork could well be coupled with the hoe, the peak .., the subsequent evolution of the suit digger.

The difference in elevation between the north and south of Navarra (more moist and tender in the north, drier and harder in the south) perfectly explains the different type of spades (tips longer in the north, shorter in the south) that were used.

The fork has evolved into the current "double handle Gallows" is not the union, the assembly of two spades to the two handles are incorporated to help leverage. This fork is used in orchards and stir for loosening the soil.

The traditional Southern laya Navarra has acquired in recent years, leisure and sports use as can be seen in racing forks and Artajona, Puente La Reina ...

Brothers Caro Baroja (Where work never grateful enough to take note of everything that was about to disappear), we delight in this video, from around 1970, with the action of a gang of layadores of San Martín de Unx. You hear a beautiful jack background:
