“Porthbugel”


…de ThisIsCornwall.co.uk:

“The porbeagle is believed to owe its name to Kernewek, the Cornish language, perhaps from Cornish porth for 'harbour' and bugel meaning 'shepherd', according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

Porbeagles have a life expectancy of up to 40 years and can grow to 12ft in length.”
