pomo

EN He rode with short stirrups, which brought his knees nearly up to the pommel of the saddle; his sharp elbows stuck out like grasshoppers'; he carried his whip perpendicularly in his hand, like a sceptre, and, as his horse jogged on, the motion of his arms was not unlike the flapping of a pair of wings.
GL Montaba con estribos curtos, polo que os xeonllos lle chegaban case á mesma altura có pomo da sela; os cóbados aguzados sobresaíanlle coma os dun saltón; suxeitaba a fusta na man de xeito perpendicular, coma se fose un cetro, e, así que o cabalo ía trotando, o movemento dos seus brazos semellaba o bater dun par de ás.
