Technical / Engineering |
|
Level of diffculty: |
Easy / medium |
|
Word or term in question: |
bauce |
|
Context: |
Les avirons carrés sonnaient entre les volets de fer; et cela marquait dans le silence comme un battement de métronome, tandis qu'à l'arrière la bauce qui traînait ne discontinuait pas son petit clapotement doux dans l'eau. |

painter
My comment:
Hi Barbara: There seem to be a lot of misprints in Madame Bovary. Read my reference. Flaubert was actually talking about a "bosse", defined as "Corde fixée à une extrémité de l'embarcation" by the GDT, and translated as "painter".
