Remarks: This translation represents the 'Fala' language as spoken in the three villages of the valley, namely Lagarteiru (of Eljas/As Ellas), Manegu (of San Martín de Trevejo/Sa Martín de Trevellu) and Valverdeiru (of Valverde del Fresno/Valverdi du Fresnu). Thanks to Antòniu who sent me the book in 2014. Another great work, Antòniu! Further information may be found at http://pequenuprincipi.blogspot.com. |
