launch
noun
lancha
EN The boats --mostly motor launches, for the old-fashioned sailing-boats (xeitos) and rowing-boats (traiñas) tend to disappear-- come in at evening, and the salting and packing of fish goes on far into the night, the pounding of long blocks of ice with heavy wooden rammers (pisones) forming a continual bass to the shrill clamour of the women's voices.
GL Os botes --a meirande parte lanchas a motor, xa que os anticuados pesqueiros (xeitos) e as barcas de remos (traíñas) tenden a desaparecer-- chegan á noitiña para continuar co salgado e empaquetado do peixe ata ben avanzada a noite. Daquela, o machucado dos grandes bloques de xelo con pesados mazos (pisón) forma un baixo continuo para o agudo chiar das voces das mulleres.
