peer agreement (net): +1veil sponsor Explanation: Se ha extinguido la costumbre incluso en España, pero en Filipinas todavía se practica, y tanto la madrina como el padrino en este ritual se llaman "veil sponsors". Consiste en que los dos cubren a los novios con un velo en común y piden la fecundidad del matrimonio. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-23 23:41:18 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Se me olvidó: velación está en Larousse como \"vigil\" y también \"ceremony of the veil\". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-24 00:07:29 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This applies to the ritual in which there is also a candle sponsor. |

peer agreement (net): +2sponsor Explanation: En familias humildes se acostumbra tener padrinos para todo. O sea, para el pastel, fotógrafo, luna de miel, anillos, en fin de cualquier cosa que se les ocurra. 'Sponsor' es lo que se me ocurre, pero quizás álguien tenga mejor palabra. Lo que sí sé es que no es godparent ni bestman, eh. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-23 23:52:02 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.sanbenito.k12.tx.us/schools/BertaCabaza/HSSB/Lang... He aquí una prueba más de la palabra. Se me olvidó traducir todo como Mass Sponsor |
