chajá
  33

1º_ Traditional Uruguayan dessert of sponge cake with meringue, cream, peach and strawberry. 2º_ Common name of the bird Chauna torquata that inhabits South America. It is onomatopoeic, since to alert its young or the flock when it sees a predator, it emits a cry similar to yajá!; and that is why it is domesticated as a guardian animal for gardens and chicken coops. 3º_ It is also called 'chajá' to the one who acts as a "bell" in a robbery, which warns the accomplices when the police arrive. In Guarani it means "run away! , let's go!" , but it is taken from the previous meaning, so in reality this one is also for the bird. See araca .
