      Fernán Gonzalvez de Lamela committed himself to give, in the name of the city council of Ourense, a hundred boards and forty planks, in this way: each one of the boards must be ten feet, of this Fernán García, in long; and in width as it is here consigned from hand to hand; and they should be two inches in thickness; and they should be straight and level and good without holes. And the forty planks must be made in this way: in width as it is consigned, from hand to hand, in high to the third hand; and they must have twelve feet or more in long; and of these planks four must be eighteen feet or more in long, as long as they can be made; and these planks must be made in oak heartwood, and the planks in chestnut.
    • c. 1850, Florencio Pol, Baixaba os calzós Xacobo:
      “Vaite, calzon galdrumeiro,”
      dixo ó probe decontado,
      “tes para hencher un pucheiro
      por porte diante ó furado.”
      "Get away, you gluttonous pants",
      said the poor thing right away,
      "you have enough to fill a pot
      for standing before the hole"
