  • 2 commala

    SK, DT 5, Calla диал.

    In standard American English, the word with the most gradations of meaning is probably run. The Random House unabridged dictionary offers one hundred and seventy-eight options, beginning with “to go quickly by moving the legs more rapidly than at a walk” and ending with “melted or liquefied.” In the Crescent-Callas of the borderlands between Mid-World and Thunderclap, the blue ribbon for most meanings would have gone to commala. — В стандартном американском английском слово с наибольшим количеством значений, должно быть, run. Полный словарь английского языка издательства “Рандом хауз” предлагает сто семьдесят восемь значений этого слова, начиная с “двигаться стремительно, переставляя ноги более быстро, чем при ходьбе” и заканчивая “таять или переходить в жидкое состояние”. На Дуге, в Пограничье между Срединным миром и Тандерклепом, синяя лента слова – рекордсмена по значениям перешла к каммале. (ТБ 5)

    ••
    I. сущ.
    а) распевы, стансы (в Калье, фольклорные песенные куплеты, увековечивающие историю леди Орис)

    “Come-come-commala,” Roland said. At least that was what Eddie heard. – Tian and Zalia brightened with surprise and recognition. The Slightmans exchanged a glance and grinned. “Where did you hear The Rice Song?” the Elder asked. “When?” — Кам-кам-каммала, – произнес Роланд. Во всяком случае так послышалось Эдди. … Тиан и Залия просияли. Слайтманы переглянулись и заулыбались. – Где ты слышал Рисовую песню? – спросил старший. – Когда? (ТБ 5)

    б) коммала, танец риса ( в Калье)
    Syn.: rice-dance

    “Never seen no one dance a better commala than he did!” a man called from one of the aisles, and there were murmurs of assent. — Никогда не видел, чтобы кто-то танцевал каммалу лучше, чем он, – крикнул мужчина из одного из проходов, и остальные одобрительно загудели.

    Eisenhart sighed, considered, then turned to Roland. “Ye danced the rice-dance,” he said, “so ye know Lady Oriza.” — Эйзенхарт вздохнул, задумался, потом повернулся к Роланду. – Ты станцевал танец риса, значит, знаешь о леди Орисе.

    в) котильон в Ночь Первого Сева в Гилеаде
    см. Sowing Night Cotillion
    2) разновидность или сорт риса; рис

    If the word were listed in the Random House unabridged, the first definition (assuming they were assigned, as is common, in order of widest usage), would have been “a variety of rice grown at the furthermost eastern edge of All-World.” — Если бы каммала попала в вышеуказанный словарь издательства “Рэндом хауз”, первым значением (при условии, что значения ранжировали, как принято, по частоте использования) стало бы “сорт риса, растущий на восточной оконечности Срединного мира”. (ТБ 5)

    3) сленг
    а) траханье, совокупление, половой акт

    The second one, however would have been “sexual intercourse.”

    The third would have been “sexual orgasm,” as in Did’ee come commala? (The hoped-for reply being Aye, say thankya, commala big-big.) — Третьим, скорее всего, “сексуальный оргазм”, в контексте: “Ты получила каммалу? – с тем, чтобы услышать в ответ: “Да, да, я говорю, спасибо тебе, большую каммалу”. (ТБ 5)

    4) идиом. как прил.
    б) лощины коммалы – ( commala draws)

    The sexual connotations of the word are clear, but why should the rocky arroyos north of town be known as the commala draws? — Сексуальные значения этого слова понятны, но почему гористая территория с сухими руслами рек к северу от города известна, как? (ТБ 5)

    For that matter, why is a fork sometimes a commala, but never a spoon or a knife? — Или почему вилку иногда называют каммалой, а ложку или нож – никогда? (ТБ 5)

    6) начало застолья, пира

    Commala is the commencement of some big and joyful meal, like a family feast (not the meal itself, do ya, but the moment of beginning to eat). — Каммала – это начало большого и веселого семейного пира (не сам пир, а именно его начало). (ТБ 5)

    II. идиом.

    Fuck-commala!” she cried, then clapped her hands to her mouth and looked at Callahan, who was sitting on the back steps. That fellow only smiled and waved cheerfully, affecting deafness. — Фак-каммала! – воскликнула она, тут же зажала рот руками, посмотрела на Каллагэна, который сидел на ступеньках крыльца. Тот лишь улыбнулся и помахал ей рукой, словно ничего и не слышал. (DT 5)
