galley Explanation: Not such a small boat I am afraid, at least from what I recall from History lessons. My Larousse dictionary gives 'galley' for 'galera'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2004-04-02 10:03:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- any of various kinds of ship propelled by oars or sails used in ancient or medieval times as a warship or as a trader -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2004-04-02 10:08:24 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Hi Madeline: I think the definition I added (from the Collins dictionary) corresponds to your definition of \'vela y ramo\' (although I do not know the exact meaning of \'ramo\'). |
