humpbacked


- noun or adjective
- chepudo

EN Sometimes my father, a hydraulic engineer in northern Brabant, took me on a polder (land recovered from the sea), where a humpbacked mill-keeper taught me the "language" of windmills: "a windmill with its sails puffed out walks 'on its head,'" the gentleman told me.
GL Meu pai, que era enxeñeiro hidráulico na zona setentrional de Brabante, levábame ás veces a un pólder no que un muiñeiro chepudo me ensinaba a linguaxe dos muíños. Un muíño, coas súas aspas despregadas, avanza "na cabeza", dicíame o bo home.
