ripia

In line with what a comrade says, by Alistanas and Tabaresas lands they call the roof of rockrose branches with mud located under the slate slices and tiles. Under the gravel the chilla, irregular boards of poplar or alder and under this the cantiaos and the beams. In this way some houses of before and some field sheds for cattle were built.

In many places in Extremadura and Andalusia they call this the emigrants or descendants who return to the village more frequently in summer on vacation or to spend a few days with relatives.

  
encaño
  18

As the charro comrade says, also for my Alistana land is called a not very large beam of rye reeds from whose ears the grains have previously been separated by hitting them against the threshing board or other instrument. This beam is tied below the spikes and at the base of the reeds. It will serve the following year to make the garañuelas, wetting the canes in advance, which will tie the wheat bundles against the hawks, that is, some with the ears for one side and others for the opposite.

  
un 86 hostelero
  21

This number or code of the world of hospitality has meanings of prohibition, rejection or non-availability. So if a hotelier gives you an 86, fires you, if a dish is in 86 is that it has been exhausted, if a customer is applied an 86, he is considered unwelcome. There are many versions about the origin of this code. In New York during the prohibition the Chumleys bar gave an 86, that is, it made its customers leave through door N. º 86 Bedford Street when I received the raid notice: 86! ¡86! ¡86!

  
neve
  17

Snow in Galician, Portuguese and Italian, (in our Latin mother is nix nivis), which over time also became a very beautiful woman's name. I recently read that Italian paleontologists named a newborn girl from 10 years ago. 000 years of the Mesolithic period, whose remains have been found in 2017 in the Arma Veirana cave of Liguria. I think they put it Neve because of the proximity of the Neva River. When Neve died he was about 40 days old and belonged to a group of hunter-gatherers of homo sapiens. Perhaps she died because of food shortages and we know that she was buried with affection.

  
piranómetro

De pyr pyrós, fuego del sol y metron , measured. Apparatus for measuring solar radiation on the earth or on any other surface. They also call it solarimeter and actinometer, from aktis aktinos, ray of the sun. Similar ones are periheliometer, pyriheliometer and periheliograph which quantifies radiation in a graphic record. The measurement is in kilowatts per square meter. All these instruments are useful in meteorology and photovoltaic technology.

extravaganza
  21

Term halfway between Spanish and Italian. In the first, extravagance, in the second, stravaganza. Quality of extravagantness, behavior, attitudes and ways of being of some that go out of the ordinary, of normality, most of the time to attract attention. This is how Vivaldi titled a group of concerts dedicated to his patron, the Venetian nobleman Victor Delfin and I think it is also the nomination of a current Madrid musical group of gothic heavy metal.

  
son habas contadas
  18

Popular expression that refers, as our Open Dictionary points out, to things that are clear and patent and that do not admit discussion. And also to things of an exact and usually scarce quantity. The origin of the expression seems to be in the votes of certain ancient institutions, both religious and secular, to make community decisions, using white beans for yes and black beans for no. It seems that Freemasonry also used this procedure.

  
zeitgeist
  17

German term that Hegel devised and used other philosophers of the nineteenth joining two words, very German, of this language: Zeit, chronological time and Geist, spirit, as the companion says. The Spirit of the times, that is, the socio-cultural identity, the tendencies and characteristics of human culture in each historical moment at the global level or more in particular. Other terms close to the German idealist philosophers of this century are Volkgeist, the spirit of the people, the feeling that a people has of themselves, of their values and history or Nationalgeist, the national spirit, the national identity.

  
bachiano
  20

This adjective, relative to or referring to Bach, will only appear in the Musical Dictionaries. If we do not specify otherwise, we refer to the great master, to a beautiful musical god, to Juan Sebastián Bach. We do pronounce Bajiano, compañero furoya, because in German it is pronounced Baj and means stream.

  
perimortem
  27

Latinism adjective or adverbial, (at the time of death, during death), frequently used in forensic medicine and anthropology, as well as its companions antemortem and postmortem (before and after death). Researchers from the Midnight Terror Cave in Belize point out that some bone lesions of the human skeletons found may have occurred perimortem in the Classic Maya period.

  
algodoncillo
  17

Asclepias curassavica . This plant of the asclepiadaceae subfamily, which I see also characterize some companions, has been called in many ways as Spanish flag (for the colors of its flowers), oleander, snake grass, venenillo. The latter by the toxics of its leaves devoured by the caterpillars of the monarch butterflies (danaus plexipus) that defend them against predators. Its latex has also been used in folk medicine to remove warts and I believe it has been studied as a chemotherapeutic agent. I don't know the results. I guess as in other plants (the yew tree, the stonebreaker). . ) slows down cell division.

That's what they call in Extremadura, Andalusia and other parts of Spain and I see that also in Latin America cilantro (coriandrum sativum), culinary aromatic herb, displaced by parsley in Spanish cuisine since the fifteenth century because it was considered cursed by the Inquisition to be used by heretics and infidels, Moors and Judaizers. Fortunately, we have recovered it.

A non-scientific term coined by Charles Darwin to refer to living things that have stood the test of time in millions of years with hardly any changes. Examples from the plant world are ginkgo biloba or wollemia nobilis.
