their width is 12:3:3:20:2:3:2:30). In the center of the panel is
a blue board in which sits yellow beaver with yellow branch in

Which makes it canting - "bober" means beaver.

In Ukrainian beaver is bibr (бiбр). In Russian beaver is
bobr (бобр). Bober in Russian is fur of a beaver.

The English "beaver", the German "Biber",
the Dutch "beever", and the ancient French
"bi~{((~}vre" all seem to come from the Gallic word
"bebros", and are very close to their Slavic
counterparts.
