na cintura

EN When the mirth of the rest of the company had subsided, and silence was restored, he leaned one arm on the elbow of his chair, and, sticking the other akimbo, demanded, with a slight but exceedingly sage motion of the head, and contraction of the brow, what was the moral of the story, and what it went to prove?
GL Unha vez rematadas as gargalladas do resto dos alí presentes, e restablecido o silencio, pousou o brazo no apoio da súa cadeira e, poñendo a man na cintura, preguntou, cun leve pero sabio movemento da cabeza e contraendo as cellas, cál era o significado da historia e qué se quería probar con ela.

no cadril

EN The old governor stuck his one arm akimbo, and for a moment surveyed him with an iron smile.
GL O vello gobernador pousou o seu único brazo no cadril e por un intre esculcou o escribán con sorriso feroz.
