Notas:

  • Etnográfica:
    Looking for, finding, "junking," transporting, and "busting" firewood is a never-ending, and hugely time and energy consuming chore. Most people still cook with firewood, which is not as readily available as before. Also, since it rains so much, keeping your firewood dry is also a chore, as is keeping it from being stolen. Men also sell firewood in Bluefields.


    Buscar, encontrar, arreglar, transportar y “busting” leña es una tarea de nunca terminar, que consume una enorme cantidad de tiempo y energía. La mayoría de la gente todavía cocina con leña, que no es tan accesible como antes. Además, puesto que llueve mucho, mantener la leña seca es también un trabajo, así como almacenarla para que no se la roben. Los hombres venden leña en Bluefields.

abung kaalup

I. N

1. artef.,cooking,dom. matches , [ESP] fósforos
Ejemplo de Frase-Phrase example:

    This tiger has a long tail. When he catch a chicken, he kill it and eat it up. His body is black and white.

Notas:

  • Etnográfica:
    Matches have to be bought and kept dry. New fires are generally started with matches and diesel or kerosene. A few carry disposable lighters. If you have no matches and diesel or kerosene, you might ask someone to borrow a "piece of fire," i.e., a piece of burning wood or coal. Some still cook traditionally with three big logs on the floor whose ends are shoved together and kindling put in the middle, and then a new fire is lit. Once lit, if you have a good type of wood such as siin or kaliiba, you can pull the logs apart after you are done cooking, and they will still be hot enough to "catch fire" the next day. Hardened rubber sap is an instant fire starter......as long as you have a match (but you don't need diesel.)


    Los fósforos deben comprarse y mantenerse secos. El fuego se enciende, generalmente, con fósforos y diesel o kerosene. Algunos tienen encendedores. Si no tenés ni fósforos ni diesel o kerosene, podés pedir prestado un “pedazo de fuego”, i.e., un pedazo de leña o carbón encendido. Algunos aún cocinan de manera tradicional, con tres troncos en el suelo cuyas extremidades juntan y colocan delicadamente en medio, así encienden el fuego. Una vez encendido, si tenés un buen tipo de leña como el siin o kaliiba, podés separar los troncos una vez terminás de cocinar y continuarán suficientemente calientes como para “prender fuego” al día siguiente. La savia de hule endurecida es un encendedor de fuego instantáneo…mientras tengás fósforos (no necesitás tener diesel).

    If your fire is out and you don't have matches, if another house is close enough, you will probably go, or send a child to go, and ask for a "piece of fire," meaning a small burning piece of wood.

    Si el fuego se te apaga y no tenés fósforos, y si la siguiente casa está suficientemente cerca, podés probablemente ir o mandar a un niño y pedir “un pedazo de fuego”, es decir, un pequeño pedazo de leña encendida.

abung krus

I. N

1. dom.,plant,tree charcoal
Ejemplo de Frase-Phrase example:
  • Abung krus kunkuni.
    The coal is blazing.

Notas:

  • Etnográfica:
    A non-traditional money-generating item, and Ramas themselves cook with wood. They make their charcoal from the ibu tree which is a hardwood and therefore better quality than what the Spaniards make and use. As of 2008, though, Spaniards were also burning iibu trees to make coal. The result is too many iibu trees being felled, to the detriment of the environment, to the animals that depend on the seed for food (e.g., macaws, givenots), and to people who harvest the seed to eat to make other food products.

    Un producto no tradicional para obtener ingresos, los Ramas cocinan con leña. Ellos hacen el carbón del iibu, un árbol de madera dura y por tanto de mejor calidad que el carbón que hacen y usan los españoles. Pero, para el 2008, los españoles también estaban quemando iibu para hacer carbón. El resultado es muchos árboles de iibu cortados, para el detrimento del medio ambiente, de los animales que dependen de sus semillas como alimento (e.g. papagayo, givenot) y para las personas que cosechan la semilla para comer o para hacer otros productos alimenticios.

White mangrove can burn by itself even when green.


    Se refiere a la leña que ha sido recientemente cortada y no está suficientemente seca como para encender el fuego. Algunos árboles, como el “paullood” y el manglar rojo pueden encenderse cuando están “verde” si los mezclas con otros tipos de madera que “queman caliente”como el iibu, swampwood, sleeping, kraabu o jug. El manglar balnco puede quemar por sí solo aun cuando está verde.

Composicion:

expression
Morfemas
abung sawa

leña

Notas:

  • Etnográfica:
    Since they cook primarily with firewood, and in the house, the smoke has the benefit of helping to keep down mosquitoes in the house somewhat, but on the other hand, over time is detrimental to the eyes and lungs, especially if there is also smoke from diesel-burning bottle or can lamps which are burned for light. This is even worse in houses with zinc on both the roof and one or more sides.


    Puesto que los Ramas cocinan fundamentalmente con leña, y en la casa, el humo tiene el beneficio de ahuyentar los mosquitos dentro de casa, pero, por el otro lado, con el paso del tiempo es perjudicial para los ojos y los pulmones, especialmente si también hay humo de botellas de diesel o lámparas que se queman para obtener luz. Esto es aún peor en las casas con zinc tanto en el techo como en uno o más costados.
