noun
mallo
EN It is done with flails: two stout sticks of oak joined by a leathern thong, called manales: one is held in the hand and the other whirls over the head and beats down on the corn, so that several seen at work together look like a huge cat-o'-nine-tails.
GL Faise co mallo: dous paus grosos de carballo unidos por unha tira de coiro chamada manal. Un cóllese coa man e o outro xira sobre a cabeza e bate sobre o centeo, de maneira que varios homes xuntos traballando semellan un enorme gato de nove colas.
