Hei,
I must apologise to all BEE-L'ers and the gentleman himself !
The developer of the Norwegian ventilated hive base is
BARAAS not <Barras>.
The double A is (in ordinary text but not in place names and surnames)
now replaced with a single A with a little ring over.
This is pronounced as a sort of <aw>
sound,  like the <or> in cork but with the <r> de-emphasised.
 
Happy Christmas to all!
Cheers, Tony
