piggin Explanation: El "piggin" se usaba antiguamente para medir en seco los mariscos durante la venta. Normalmente se construían de roble. No te he cambiado el nombre ya que no he encontrado sinónimos en español. Sugiero tentativamente que lo adoptes si el contexto lo permite. De otra manera puedes crear "Recipiente para medir mariscos", algo largo me temo. |
