Any good anagrams for hesbaye?

The Hesbaye (French), or Haspengouw (modern Dutch, medieval Latin: Hasbania or less often Haspinga) is a geophysical region in Belgium, a plateau region of low, fertile hills, running parallel with the northern bank of a section of the Maas river that flows from west to east. Significant parts of three Belgian provinces are dominated by the Hesbaye landscape, important for both tourism and agriculture: the southern half of the province of Limburg, the northwestern part of Liège province (north of the Maas), and eastern Walloon Brabant. Parts are also in neighbouring provinces: southeastern Flemish Brabant, the northern edge of Namur province and the northwestern corner of Hainaut. The Limburg portion includes the cities of Tongeren, Sint-Truiden, Bilzen and Borgloon, the Flemish Brabant portion includes Tienen, Landen and Zoutleeuw, the Walloon Brabant portion includes Jodoigne and Perwez, Namur's part includes Éghezée, and in Liège province there are for example the towns of Hannut and Waremme.Geographically, Hesbaye borders on several similar regions of rolling hills: Hageland (which was historically also considered part of the Hesbaye), on the other side of the river Maas to the south is the Condroz, and to the east Dutch "South Limburg" and the Pays de Herve. In contrast, to the north it borders on the flat sandy Kempen region. And over the Maas to the southeast are the rocky hills of the Ardennes. In the west the plateau ends at the valley of the Dyle river, except to its south where a smaller extension of the plateau landscape stretches into Hainaut and between Brussels and Charleroi, sometimes referred to as the "plateau brabançonne".The fertile ground of this region's rolling countryside is mainly used for agricultural purposes, and in this context it is often divided into two divisions, with the boundary running through Sint-Truiden, Borgloon and Tongeren. The northern "Humid" (Dutch Vochtig) part has a high water table and many springs; it is by far the main fruit growing area of Belgium, as well as home to some of the most northerly vineyards in Belgium. The southern "Dry" division is somewhat more fertile and the ground water sinks more easily; in this region sugar beet, chicory, flax, rapeseed and grains (90% of which is wheat and barley) are cultivated.
