talón

EN For a moment the terror of Hans Van Ripper's wrath passed across his mind --for it was his Sunday saddle; but this was no time for petty fears; the goblin was hard on his haunches; and (unskilful rider that he was!) he had much ado to maintain his seat.
GL Por un instante, pensou no furioso que había por Hans Van Ripper cando o descubrise, pois aquela era a sela dos domingos. Pero agora non era o momento para pensar nesas parvadas; o espectro íalle pisando os talóns e el non era o que se di un experto na equitación.

pata

EN As he drew closer to the cry he went more slowly, with caution in every movement, till he came to an open place among the trees, and looking out saw, erect on haunches, with nose pointed to the sky, a long lean, timber wolf.
GL Ó aproximarse ó lugar de onde procedía a chamada empezou a andar máis de vagar, cautelosamente, ata chegar a un claro entre as árbores. Alí, sentado sobre as patas traseiras, co fuciño apuntando ó ceo, viu un longo e fraco lobo das selvas.
