Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]escrequenar (first-person singular present escrequeno, first-person singular preterite escrequenei, past participle escrequenado)
- (pronominal) to crouch, shrink
- 1842, Juan Manuel Pintos, Meu querido pai:
- As nosas mulleres
Subamos de prezo
Que, ê muito travallo
È dor mui doente
Botar á este mundo
Hum miniño inteiro.
Com’elas s’estrican,
Cómo se escrequenan
Como dan gemidos
Choros è lamentos,
Como à côr do rostro
Toda van perdendo
È agre bocado
Qu’a calquer pon medo.- Our women's
price we should rise
because it is hard work
and aching pain
to throw to this world
a whole baby.
How they stretch,
how they crouch,
How they wail,
cry and lament,
How the face colour
they lose entirely.
It's a sour mouthful
that makes anyone scared.
- Our women's
