3 hrs confidence: 
peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1she was able to carry out all the four rules Explanation: However, the play on word "con sumar", i.e., "with addition" is a play on words hard, if not impossible to translate. In other words, without further context, I understand she could add, subtract, multiply and divide. (She probably was able to handle some money) As for the fifth one, writing, that was thanks to the "pen" (pork) she would eat for lunch and dinner..., i.e., most likely she was illiterate, (?) as noted in your other question. Good luck! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2019-07-02 03:37:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Consummation? This could maybe be used, in case this zangarilleja (as I suppose) has anything to do with "lenocidio, casa de", as she would be able to "add" more money to her purse, with every "con summation"... (This may be stretching it, but I would not rule out this nuance and play on words...) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2019-07-02 03:57:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You're welcome! :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 14 hrs (2019-07-03 14:21:12 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- You're welcome, Lydia. Glad to be of help, and glad to be able to do so..., in understanding some of these baroque conundrums... ;-) |
