peer agreement (net): +1shank, stock and fluke Explanation: I do not think that caña refers to the material the anchor is made from, but to the part of the anchor. It refers to the 'parte comprendida entre la cruz y el arganeo del ancla' (http://www.arganeo.com.es/index.php/diccionario?KT_az=C), which I understand is known as the shank. The shank, together with the stock and the fluke are the three key components of the anchor. How it fits into your sentence I can't tell without the whole sentence: '... an anchor consisting of shank, stock and fluke' ??? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2009-10-20 14:15:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For a diagram, see http://www.proteccioncivil.org/eu/DGPCE/Informacion_y_docume... |
