释义

labba

See also: lábba and lábbá

English

Noun

labba (plural labbas)

  1. (Guyana) A paca (large rodent).
    • 1888, H. I. Perkins, “Seven months up the Puruni River”, in Timehri: The Journal of the Royal Agricultural and Commercial Society of British Guiana:
      During the last three months, of my stay, labba meat (Cœlogenys paca), which is justly looked upon as the caviare of the bush, was fairly plentiful. This was due to a small black and white dog, belonging to one of the boat hands, which hunted labba excellently; sometimes killing four or five in a morning, and once even six.
    • 1995, Brian L. Moore, Cultural Power, Resistance, and Pluralism: Colonial Guyana, 1838-1900, McGill-Queen's Press:
      Game included accouries (a kind of guinea pig), water-dogs (otters), labbas (hollow cheek pacas), deer, wild hogs, mypouris (tapirs), monkeys, sloths, water haas (capybaras), armadillos, snakes, tigers, jaguars, iguanas, manatees (sea cows), etc.
    • 2011, Helena Martin, Walk Wit’ Me...: All Ova Guyana, BalboaPress, page 54:
      Labba was my favourite meat. I say “was”, because that came to an end on one of my visits to Guyana.
