lump, clump, clot, plop, cake, pat Explanation: I did manage to find one instance of grabon, a quiz for winning a free stay at a resort, doing a Google search. While it doesn't actually explain what a grabon is, I think I can deduce its meaning from the quiz item; that is, a "bouse de vache" is a "cow plop." This must be the right answer for the quiz, and the term you are looking for as well, since solder does form little "plops" when it falls onto a surface. So when you finish your translation, if you want to win that freebie, you can go to the following website: "Dans la haute partie de la vallée, le bois était relativement rare, et il venait à manquer l'hiver pour se chauffer. Les habitants faisaient alors des réserves de combustible d'une nature très particulière, qui étaient appelées grabon. Savez-vous de quel matériau un grabon était-il constitué ? d'herbe séchée en bottes de fagots de brindilles de bouse de vache séchée" Reference: http://www.valcenis.com/question/testjanv.html Roget's International Thesaurus |
