The Bible in Spain, Vol. 2 [of 2] / Or, the Journeys, Adventures, and Imprisonments of an Englishman in an Attempt to Circulate the Scriptures in the Peninsula

by George Borrow

Durotunó. A shepherd. Probably connected with dur = far, P. ii. 317; M. vii. 48. It is worth noticing that we find Gorotuné = a native of Estremadura, which looks like a pun, P. i. 54, so too J., who has also oroturné = a mountaineer, which suits the idea.

Dwag. See Dar.

E, Es. Rom. Genitive, sing. and plur., of the article O.

E. Port. And.

Eidri. See Shillam.

Ellegren. Stated by Borrow to be a Scand. word, meaning “elfin plant,” but the dictionaries do not give it. Elle, however, in composition = fairy, in Danish; and gren = bough, in Danish, Norse, and Swedish.

Embéo. Rom. A book. P. ii. 62.

Embustero. Span. Impostor, cheat, schemer; from embuste, a deceit, false or fraudulent scheme, snare.

Encina. Span. An oak.

Endemoniado. Span. Possessed by the devil.
