Syncopation, very common in my land and elsewhere, drinking, participle of drinking. Among my childhood memories are three cows, the red, the pretty and the brunette. The red used to give birth for winter and to raise the jack better from time to time I gave her a drink that, at the direction of my father, I prepared for her. In a water cellar he mixed a can of salvos. He drank it in a jiffy and relayed the remains of the ground rye on the sides of the roadstead and looked at me with his huge eyes as if to say: I like it, give me more.
