We had to salve him with base liquid to kill the demons Explanation: IMHO, "madre" is used here in the sense of the basic liquid or mixture, cf. "madre de vino" as described here: Los vinos finos o manzanillas se obtienen, mediante crianza biológica, en bota o barrica, ... originando lo conocido como "madre del vino"... In the case of alcoholic liquids, it would be "base alcohol", but in the case in point, it appears to be a fermented herbal mixture. Rather than sprinkling it like holy water, in the scenario described it would probably be applied as an unguent or salve. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2019-12-14 10:52:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Having said that, I must admit that "base liquid" seems rather more prosaic and lacks the cachet of the "madre" expression in Spanish. A better option might be something like "anoint him with the special herbal mixture" or something like that… Reference: http://incual.mecd.es/documents/20195/1873863/UC0550_2_RV+-+... |
