anacleto: From the Greek ana-kaleo , to call, to invoke, to proclaim: The called, the proclaimed. It is not a widely used name today.

What usually happens, more in some people, because of the emotions we feel from falling in love to animosity. Adrenaline accelerates blood circulation which manifests itself in the face with redness, warmth and suffocation.
sincell: Neologism of social networks that I liked. I have seen it in the comments on the anthem of Spain that Iñaqui Gabilondo recited in the television program of the Resistance. A hymn that spoke, among many of our gastronomic delights, of the potato omelette with onion or without. And immediately the sincebollists, the concebollistas and the bitortillistas began to discuss. I think the sincell omelette is an option, but I love the concell.
nabia: Also navia by betacismo. Indo-European toponymic very frequent in the peninsular northwest meaning valley.

convinose: In any case it would be convínose, archaic way of saying it was agreed, that is, it was agreed, they agreed to do or decide something.

nemine discrepante: Absolute ablative of Latin that passed to Castilian as Latinism, (here it does carry an accent), with adverbial value pointing out the way in which a collective decision is produced, without discrepancy, by unanimous agreement, by unanimity, being all in agreement, without discord; to the letter: no one disagrees, as our Open Dictionary also says.

jesus bleibet meine freude: Jesus is still my joy. Jesus, joy of men. A delight for our ears, an overflowing emotion for the soul, tenth movement of Bach's cantata 147. What would we do without it! The cantata is usually part of the musical repertoire at weddings.

Here ugliness not only alludes to the aesthetic aspects, which also, but above all to the moral and social. However, what psychologists and sociologists point out as ascending violence, from children to parents, I think occurs more in the new generations, perhaps not! Insurance for a deficient education.
alifonso: In my Asturian town Zamorano we called that in my childhood the you Ildefonso to whom we made rage for Holy Week knocking on his door the wooden carracks that we made, to make them sound in the church in the ceremony of darkness, which I think was celebrated on the night of Holy Wednesday. The lights were gradually going out. When the last and highest tenebrario was turned off, that was madness. Everyone was screaming and we were rattle ringing. Later I learned that some waiters got their hands on the girls. The power of darkness! A minute later the light went on and everything was silent.
pinna fidelis: In Latin, Peñafiel. This is how they have nominated their winery a large group of winegrowers from this Valladolid area, who produce a glorious wine with airs of the Duero, Duratón and Botijas , awarded on several occasions. In late Latin Penna Fidele for the declaration of Count Sancho García in the tenth century: The most faithful rock of Castile. Here is also Protos, the first in Ribera del Duero.
ripia: In line with what a comrade says, by Alistanas and Tabaresas lands they call the roof of rockrose branches with mud located under the slate slices and tiles. Under the gravel the chilla, irregular boards of poplar or alder and under this the cantiaos and the beams. In this way some houses of before and some field sheds for cattle were built.

encaño: As the charro comrade says, also for my Alistana land is called a not very large beam of rye reeds from whose ears the grains have previously been separated by hitting them against the threshing board or other instrument. This beam is tied below the spikes and at the base of the reeds. It will serve the following year to make the garañuelas, wetting the canes in advance, which will tie the wheat bundles against the hawks, that is, some with the ears for one side and others for the opposite.
un 86 hostelero: This number or code of the world of hospitality has meanings of prohibition, rejection or non-availability. So if a hotelier gives you an 86, fires you, if a dish is in 86 is that it has been exhausted, if a customer is applied an 86, he is considered unwelcome. There are many versions about the origin of this code. In New York during the prohibition the Chumleys bar gave an 86, that is, it made its customers leave through door N. º 86 Bedford Street when I received the raid notice: 86! ¡86! ¡86!
neve: Snow in Galician, Portuguese and Italian, (in our Latin mother is nix nivis), which over time also became a very beautiful woman's name. I recently read that Italian paleontologists named a newborn girl from 10 years ago. 000 years of the Mesolithic period, whose remains have been found in 2017 in the Arma Veirana cave of Liguria. I think they put it Neve because of the proximity of the Neva River. When Neve died he was about 40 days old and belonged to a group of hunter-gatherers of homo sapiens. Perhaps she died because of food shortages and we know that she was buried with affection.
