Hmmmm....wwh, those thicken wooden soles would have made a threatening percussive sound to the ear of a boulanger. Think about the contrast: the rhythmic wooden pounding on the earth against the muffled rhythms of the bakers kneading soft dough...

Gotcha, Sparteye. I remember when I was a kid we used to have a kithcen tool we called a spatula with a square rubber piece on the end for blending batter...something of a collectible now, I guess. And of course the fried food flippers were always called the same. How' bout batterbat for the blender and flapjacker for the flipper? Just spur of the moment nominations!

Witman: I do like your batterbat!
And something else that reminds me of is the dasher in the icecream maker--
You know if a dasher mixes something as lovely as icecream, just imagine what great sweet concoctions a dancer might be mixing up, and a prancer, a vixen, a comet, a cupid (love potion?), a donner (a donder in "Rudolph") and a blitzen....
Oh, a blitzen would have to be something to mix moonshine, I do believe. Peach moonshine is very good...or so I hear.

dr. bill, you're quite right. The website has a typo; the book has the 1683 correct date.

a pastry that he shaped like a three-cornered hat. It had a filling of raisins or some other dried fruit. I cannot remember either the name of the pastry or the historical story associated with the baking of these little hats. Dub-dub, you're probably thinking of the hamentashen traditional served for the jewish Purim holiday. Purim, a time for heavy-duty revelry and partying, celebrates the events told in the biblical book of Esther. (By the way, is any other book of the bible named for a woman?) recipies: http://jewishappleseed.org/apple/hamnrecp.htmPurim overview: http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday9.htm

It is clear that you lost the first L.
But I have no tools to answer. I have almost no idea HOW you pronounce your lines - and I was wondering if there is a way different from audio files for explaining a pronounciation - if you do not know BEFORE a correspondence between the sounds in two languages.
Anyway, I suspect that I would understand your sentence pronounced as you wrote, but I would feel a strong american accent. This is because we do not pronounce "e" as a long a, but more as "e" in "pen".

Keiva: There's also the Book of Ruth...there's a lovely art song by a composer I've long forgotten based on the Book of Ruth, "Whither Thou Goest, There Will I follow."
Hamentashen sounds like the pastry I was thinking of--I'll check your links.

Emanuela,
I did my best with those pronunciations and I apologize that they're still indecipherable. But I'm very happy to have the lines at least. My daughter's taking Italian in Ithaca, so I'll send the lines up to her after Thanksgiving to see whether she may be of some help.
We have pasta makers and pasta machines here. What do you call those in Italian? I'm sure you have a more mellifluous name for them than we.
Best regards,
WW

WW, I belive the book of Ruth did not make it into the bible when the offical "inclusion list" was made, but is rather part of the Apocrypha.
