editpoltrona (accusative singular poltronan, plural poltronaj, accusative plural poltronajn)
- (literary, rare) cowardly
- 1965, Kálmán Kalocsay, transl., La tragedio de l'homo, Imre Madách:
- Mi ne kondamnas tiun ĉi poltronan
popolon, ĝi ne estas kulpa, ĝia
naturo estas, ke ĝin la mizero
brulstampu sklavo.- I don't condemn this cowardly
people, they are not to blame, their
nature is to be branded
a slave by misery.
- I don't condemn this cowardly
- 1999, William Auld, interviewed by Aleksander Korĵenkov in La Ondo de Esperanto:
- Cetere, pseŭdonimeco en certaj cirkonstancoj estas tolerebla (ekzemple ĉe Zamenhof) — sed kiam aŭtoro kaŝas sin pseŭdonime por sin savi de pravaj riproĉoj kaj eventualaj reagoj, tio estas anonimeco kovarda kaj poltrona.
- Additionally, pseudonymity in certain circumstances is tolerable (for example in Zamenhof's case) — but when an author hides behind a pseudonym to save themselves from just reproaches and potential reactions, that sort of anonymity is low and cowardly.
- 2010, Baldur Ragnarsson, “La grimpo”, in La fontoj nevideblaj:
- "Jes, tie la vojo," diris la gvidisto[...]
"por ĝin laŭiri nepras la persisto
kaj ne hazardaj paŝoj de poltrona drivo."- "Yes, there's the road," said the guide[...]
"to follow it requires persistence
and not random steps of a cowardly drift.
- "Yes, there's the road," said the guide[...]
