billow


- intransitive verb
- estenderse

EN Smoke was seeping through the branches in white and yellow wisps, the patch of blue sky over head turned to the colour of a storm clout, and then the smoke billowed round him.
GL A través das ramas penetraba fume en farrapos brancos e amarelos; o anaco de ceo azul, que tiña por riba da cabeza, púxose da cor dunha nube de tronada, e, despois, o fume estendeuse ó seu redor.

- noun
- onda

EN The sea was quiet now, and swelled lazily in broad billows that melted into one another and did not break except upon the beach in little foamy crests that coiled back like slow, white serpents.
GL Agora o mar estaba calmo e inchaba con galbana en grandes ondas, fundíndose unhas coas outras sen chegaren a quebrar, ata acada-la beira en pequenas cimas de escuma serpeando ata atrás coma cobriñas brancas.
