Meaning and background
The story behind Caber
Caber names the pole or young tree trunk tossed in a Scottish strength sport. That specific sporting object is defined by Merriam-Webster, which records more than one vowel pronunciation. A Scottish-games or timber association therefore has direct support for a pet-name story. The connection concerns an object and a sport; it does not establish that Caber literally describes a dog as strong or gives its personal-name origin.
