el nen robat Explanation: changeling means, in fairy tales, child who is taken or left in the place of another; it also means idiot. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2006-07-21 09:51:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Not having a catalan equivalent for the term, I opted for the easiest explanation. If you replace one child for another, you unavoidably steal him or her from the mother. webster's online |
