girdle


- transitive verb
- rodear

EN The margin of the river, and of the many dazzling rivulets that glided through devious ways into its channel, as well as the spaces that extended from the margins away down into the depths of the streams until they reached the bed of pebbles at the bottom, -- these spots, not less than the whole surface of the valley, from the river to the mountains that girdled it in, were carpeted all by a soft green grass, thick, short, perfectly even, and vanilla-perfumed, but so besprinkled throughout with the yellow buttercup, the white daisy, the purple violet, and the ruby-red asphodel, that its exceeding beauty spoke to our hearts in loud tones, of the love and of the glory of God.
GL Todos estes lugares, as beiras do río e dos abundantes e cegadores regatos que percorrían sinuosos camiños ata chegar ó seu curso, así como os espacios que se estendían desde as marxes ata que os fondos regatos acadaban o leito de pedriñas xunto con todo o val, desde o río ata as montañas que o rodeaban, estaban completamente alfombrados por unha herba mol e verde, grosa, curta, perfectamente uniforme, e recendendo a vainilla, pero tan mollada co ranúnculo amarelo, a margarida branca, a violeta morada, e a papoula vermella coma o rubí, que a súa excesiva beleza falaba en alto ós nosos corazóns do amor e da gloria de Deus.

- noun
- cinguidor

EN The figure of a woman as she appears in the liturgy of the church passed silently through the darkness: a white-robed figure, small and slender as a boy, and with a falling girdle.
GL A figura dunha muller, tal como aparece na liturxia da Igrexa, pasou caladamente a través da escuridade: vestida de branco, cativa e lanzal como un rapaz, e cun cinguidor caído.
