impotent  
 
   adjective 
  impotente
  
EN His mother had gone stiff all over, and then, her arm slackening, so that he felt she listened to him no longer, she had risen somehow and gone away and left him there, impotent, ridiculous, sitting on the floor grasping a pair of scissors. 
GL A súa nai quedara moi tensa, e logo o seu brazo afrouxara, polo que el se decatara de que xa non o escoitaba, ela erguérase e marchara deixándoo alí, impotente, ridículo, sentado no chan, apreixando nas mans unhas tesoiras.
