lenguas incomprensibles Explanation: Here's what I found: Not easy to hear or understand; indistinctly articulated: the thick speech of a drunkard. Producing indistinctly articulated sounds: the thick tongues of barbarians. So, I'd translate it as something like "lenguas incomprensibles"; given the context, this is the only suggestion I can come up with. Hope it was helpful! |

peer agreement (net): +2lenguas torpes Explanation: Si la descripción es física y directa (lo cual no sé porque falta contexto), puedes decir lenguas entorpecidas. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2007-07-07 16:03:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sus lenguas entorpecidas, como sujetas por una camisa de fuerza, le traían a la mente imágenes de psicópatas violentos. ¿Qué te parece? |
