Analyses
hay-o-pet
ハヨベツ ‘nettle river’ proposedProponent: zenibako_trek（小樽銭函地名歴史研究会） (zenibako_trek (Otaru Zenibako Place-Name and History Society))
The reading comes from the long spelling on the Hata map. Hayopira in Biratori is built on the same word, hay-o-pira 'nettle cliff', and is a different place.
hay and pet are dictionary words in the senses used and the longer spelling supports the shape; the reading rests on a single map.
