Galician[edit]
Etymology[edit]
In the sense given below, seemingly borrowed from Catalan llitera or French litière,[1] both from Late Latin lectuāria (“bedding”). Compare the synonymous Spanish litera, also borrowed from Gallo-Romance.
There also existed, however, a liteira (“bedding”) in thirteenth-century Old Galician-Portuguese,[2] which might represent a direct inheritance of the Late Latin lectuāria.
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
liteira f (plural liteiras)
- litter (platform mounted on two shafts, used for the human-powered transportation of people)
- 1707, Salvador Francisco Roel, Entremés ao real e feliz parto da nosa raíña:
- E se eu fora sua Ama,
que de regalos comera
e mais avia d'andar
metida nunha Liteyra.- If I was her milkmaid
so many delicatessens I would eat
and I would go around
inside a litter
- If I was her milkmaid
