Possible definitions for voar

boar
Any wild member of the pig species Sus scrofa; the ancestor of domestic pigs. It is native to forests ranging from W and N Europe and N. Africa to India, the Andaman Islands, and China and has been introduced to New Zealand and the U.S. It has a bristly, blackish or brown coat and stands up to 35 in. (90 cm) tall at the shoulder. Except for old, solitary males, boars live in groups. They are omnivores and are good swimmers. They have sharp tusks and, though normally not aggressive, can be dangerous. Because of its strength, speed, and ferocity, the boar has long been a prized game animal.


ovary
In zoology, the female reproductive organ (see reproductive system) that produces eggs and sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone). Humans have two ovaries, almond-shaped organs about 1.5 in. (4 cm) long. They contain hollow balls of cells (follicles) that hold immature eggs. About 150,000-500,000 follicles usually are present at birth; by young adulthood, only about 34,000 remain. The number continues to decrease until menopause, when the few remaining follicles decay and the ovaries shrink and produce far less estrogen. Only 300-400 follicles mature and release an egg, which develops into an embryo if fertilized or, if not, passes from the body with menstruation. In botany, an ovary is the enlarged base of a flower's female organ (pistil). It contains ovules, which develop into seeds when fertilized, and matures into a fruit.

Avars
People of undetermined origin who built an empire in E Europe between the Adriatic and Baltic seas and the Elbe and Dnieper rivers in the 6th-9th cent. Mounted nomads, possibly from Central Asia, they made the Hungarian plain the center of their empire, from which they intervened in Germanic tribal wars, helped the Lombards overthrow allies of Byzantium, and nearly succeeded in occupying Constantinople in 626.
