- zumbar

EN And there was an old gentleman who shall be nameless, being too rich a mynheer to be lightly mentioned, who, in the battle of White-plains, being an excellent master of defence, parried a musket ball with a small sword, insomuch that he absolutely felt it whiz round the blade, and glance off at the hilt: in proof of which, he was ready at any time to show the sword, with the hilt a little bent.
GL Tamén había alí un vello cabaleiro, que gardarei no anonimato, xa que era un personaxe demasiado rico coma para mencionalo así coma así, e que manexaba tan ben as armas que na batalla de Whiteplains chegou a deter a bala dun mosquete cun puñal, ata o punto de poder sentila zumbar ó roza-lo fío e desviarse ó chocar contra a empuñadura. E para probalo, estaba sempre disposto a amosa-la súa arma, que tiña o mango algo torcido.
