Caspiayu - core - corazón

This word refers to the core of an apple or a pear, that part of the fruit that we do not eat.

I was looking in the La Nueva España asturian dictionary but I could not find the word. However, in my mother's hamlet this is a common word.

I love the phonetics of this word.

A mi tamien me presta , yo siempre lo llamaba la gaspia.

I like it too, in my family we used to call it la gaspia

Hi, Ayalgueru:

después que escribiste lo de la "gaspia" encontré en el diccionario de la Nueva España "CASPIA" para referirse a lo que por donde vivo llamamos caspiayu.
