coletilla

hebilla

  14

A piece with a fastening mechanism at the end of a strap or belt to adjust clothing, footwear, frames, . . . It is made up of a python or a movable bolt that makes it easy to hook into a buttonhole and is usually metallic although it is found in other materials. By extension it is used for hair fasteners or for ornaments that bear some resemblance to buckles. The name seems to come from a diminutive of the Latin figere ("to fix, nail, introduce"), but in reality its origin is in fiber, bra, brum ("at the end") which with the diminutive -ula formed fibula, ae, although it later changed suffix and became fibella, which medieval Spanish incorporated as fiviella and today ended in 'buckle'.

  

pentavocálico

  9

It is said of the word or language that contains the five vowels of Spanish. It applies in languages such as Quechua or Aymara whose original transcribed spelling used the letters /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/ and /u/, but at the end of the 20th century the use of only /a/, /i/ and /u/ became trivocal. Another use for 'pentavocalic' is to group each word with all the vowels, but there is no criterion on how to include them, since according to some authors those with repeated vowels (which counts more than 5), those with stressed vowels (because they are another character), those that contain the /u/ in the digraph /qu/ (because it does not sound), should not be accepted. those that have /y/ instead of /i/ (even if they do sound the same) , . . . My only objection is the etymological sloppiness, since penta- ("five") is a prefix of Greek origin while vowel is a Latin word; But it's true that 'quinquivocalic' sounds ugly. See panvocalic.

feminismo radical

  8

It is precisely a 'radical feminism', but although the phrase seems to have an obvious meaning, the contribution of colleague Sergio M is very pertinent since the adjective is usually interpreted according to the radical anglicism that is more related to intolerance and violence (which in Spanish translates as "radicalized") and not as "supporter of the original movement, of its ideological roots." See radical feminist.
