(DRAE) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 días23 minutos (2011-10-10 15:16:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ah, and I am afraid that "bufant" is literal for "soplante" (in fact, "bufant" is a gerund: "soplando" in Spanish, "blowing" in English), so the original should say "bufador" instead. |
