porcupine


- noun
- porco espiño

EN A small market is held in the Calle de Elduayen: brown earthenware pots and jars, vegetables in heaps on the ground and a long line of reed coroças, straw-coloured, which, when worn over the head, with two capes reaching to the feet, give the wearer something of the look of a Red Indian; but if he is bending over his work in the fields the reeds rise up and he looks like a great bristling porcupine.
GL Celébrase un mercado na Rúa de Elduayen: potes de barro e xerras, verduras en moreas no chan e unha longa ringleira de corozas de xuncos, cor da palla, que, cando se colocan sobre a cabeza, con dúas capas que chegan ata os pés, dálle ó que a leva unha certa apariencia dun "pel vermella"; pero cando esa mesma persoa está dobrada traballando no campo os xuncos levántanse e danlle a fasquía dun porco espiño cheo de sedas.
