papo da perna
EN Then, looking up, as her husband passed her once more, she was relieved to find that the ruin was veiled; domesticity triumphed; custom crooned its soothing rhythm, so that when stopping deliberately, as his turn came round again, at the window he bent quizzically and whimsically to tickle James's bare calf with a sprig of something, she twitted him for having dispatched 'that poor young man', Charles Tansley.
GL Logo, erguendo a vista, no momento no que o seu home pasaba outra vez, sentiuse aliviada ó comprobar que a derrota quedara conxurada; triunfaba o doméstico; o costume cantaruxaba co seu ritmo acougante, de xeito que ó se deter deliberadamente na ventá, cando volveu da-la volta, inclinouse burlón, co antollo de facerlle cóxegas a James no papo da perna espida cun ramiño de algo, ela berroulle por despachar «a ese pobre rapaz», Charles Tansley.

cuxo
EN Water sprang out of gray rocks, cows cast their calves even when they had none, and hard rushes grew soft in the remotest corner of Erin, so desperate was the fighting and so awful, between Fin and the old hag.
GL Das rochas grises saía auga, as vacas parían os seus cuxos antes de tempo, aínda que non estivesen preñadas, e os xuncos duros medraban suaves no recanto máis remoto de Erín, tan desesperada e horrible era a pelexa entre Fin e a vella bruxa.

cría

..... in calf
preñe
