trough Explanation: "Oiseau" apart the bird, it used to be the vessel in which masons carried their mortar (Larousse dictionnary). The synonym in "Auge" (trough) in French. We can imagine the little girl sitting in this "trough" as on a sledge, being pulled up the slope... The problem is I do not know whether "trough" is also the term in English! |
