Explanation:
Segundo o dicionário: "1. Monte de palha e trigo, disposto de modo que o grão fique resguardado da chuva. 2. [Portugal: Turquel] Pilha; rima." Como se trata de um termo delimitado geograficamente (parece-me que ele é falado em Turquel, pelo que tudo indica) teríamos de encontrar o termo mais apropriado similar para este caso. Pelo que li aqui, parece que estamos falando de um sinônimo de "meda". Veja se funciona bem esta ideia. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rick
