pasta

EN And on the beach the white and blue canoes that came from Nayarit were drawn up, canoes preserved for generations by a hard shell-like waterproof plaster whose making was a secret of the fishing people.
GL Os seus vellos edificios amarelentos afincábanse no areal, sobre o que estaban varadas as canoas brancas e azuis que viñeran de Nayarit. Eran canoas conservadas durante xeracións por unha dura e impermeable pasta que actuaba a modo de cuncha e que era feita segundo un segredo gardado pola xente do mar.

escaiola

EN The swallows nested in the drawing-room; the floor was strewn with straw; the plaster fell in shovelfuls; rafters were laid bare; rats carried off this and that to gnaw behind the wainscots.
GL As andoriñas aniñaban na sala; o chan estaba cuberto de pallas; a escaiola caía a moreas; as trabes quedaban ó descuberto; os ratos levaban isto ou aquilo para rillalo detrás do zócolo.

morteiro

EN Some of Orense's houses, of solid granite, with great coats-of-arms, look as if they must last for ever, and next door to such a house is often a whitewashed house of projecting wood and plaster which looks as if it must crumble forthwith into dust.
GL Algunha das casas de Ourense, de cantería sólida e con grandes pedras de armas, semellan que fosen durar para sempre, pero sempre, a carón dunha casa deste tipo, hai outra encalada, feita de madeira e morteiro, que ten pinta de poder esborrallarse de súpeto.

xeso

EN Sand was used to make cement and the lime for plaster and to a lesser extent farming, because it reduces soil acidity and increases some crop yields.
GL A area empregábase para facer cemento e o cal para fabricar xeso ou, en menor medida, para a agricultura, porque o seu uso diminúe a acidez do solo e aumenta o rendemento dalgúns cultivos.
