There's a list on the 'Vocabolario dei dialetti della città e della diocesi di Como' (Vocabulary of dialects of Como and its diocesis), that I've seen in my village's library - I remember only 'mòl' = (water, sweat)> humid, now alive in the statement 'mètt a mòl', put in the water ( maybe OIrish 'mor' ?) - and that the name of a local mountain , Baradell, should come from something as bar-del. I'll look for further informations. Luca
