Actually, Aber means mouth, as in mouth of a river - we were just in 
Wales 2 weeks ago, and had a short lesson on place names.  We were 
staying near Aberdyfi, the mouth of the Dyfi River.

There is a Forth River in the Scotish Highlands, and I've found 
references to the Firth of Forth (an estuary) but not the a place 
named Aberforth.  I believe the mouth of the Forth river is near 
Edinburg
