Example sentence(s):

El castor és un teixit de llana enfeltrat. Potser no m’hauria decidit a conservar aquest mot, perquè avui poca gent sap de què es tracta, però ho vaig fer perquè J.V. Foix el fa servir en un dels seus poemes: “Si jo fos marxant a Prades / –A les boires de tardor– / Per guardar-vos de glaçades / Us donaria flassades / I caperons de castor” (Onze Nadals i un Cap d’Any, 11, 1-5). - Universitat Pompeu Fabra
