peer agreement (net): -1the pit of the heritage building Explanation: Is the original text related to a preserved building? Tombado = result of the act of "tombamento" = consider a building as heritage because of the historical/cultural importance it had in the past, in order to protect/preserve it. I would probably go with the term pit rather than moat. You can also consider using "protected building" instead of "heritage building" if you feel it will be too formal. |

peer agreement (net): +1confined space/gap under toppled cargo Explanation: If this involves confined-space work within a port area, I would guess something along these lines. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2019-08-12 18:34:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And, as mentioned by Luiz Fernando and by Mark, "foço" is probably a typo, either for "fosso" or "poço". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2019-08-12 19:01:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Needless to say, the typo should be corrected if this ever makes it into the glossary (which I don't think it will) :) |
