What’s in a Name

Iraun is Oxer’s tribute to his people and language (Euskera). The word “means to endure”. Despite all obstacles and challenges, the Basque people persevered and they kept the oldest language in the world alive. In the label this is depicted as aUroborus, a snake eating its own tail. The emblem of eternity. “In my beginning is my end,” T.S. Eliot.
