perpendicular
 noun or adjective
 perpendicular
EN Towards noon, as the floods of light fell more nearly to the perpendicular, the stark colours of the morning were smoothed in pearl and opalescence; and the heat --as though the impending sun's height gave it momentum-- became a blow that they ducked, running to the shade and lying there, perhaps even sleeping.
GL Contra as doce, cando a mareira de luz se achegaba case á perpendicular, as duras cores da mañá suavizábanse en tons perlas e opalescentes; a calor, coma se a ameazadora altura do sol lle dese pulo, convertíase nunha labarada que os rapaces evitaban agochándose á sombra para quedar alí estomballados os ou mesmo adormecer.
