eixe

EN His head was small, and flat at top, with huge ears, large green glassy eyes, and a long snipe nose, so that it looked like a weather-cock, perched upon his spindle neck, to tell which way the wind blew.
GL A cabeza era pequena e plana, as orellas enormes, os ollos grandes e verdes claros e o nariz aquilino e, por iso, un poderíao confundir cun catavento, que, cravado sobre o seu eixe, indica en qué dirección sopra o vento.
