Meaning of glíglico




furoya

glíglico
  36

It is another way of calling the Cortazarian gygic language, which according to what colleague Felipe Lorenzo del Río comments should be the correct one.

  




Felipe Lorenzo del Río

Literary gibberish of some Hopscotch characters who hide their love affairs from the reader. Cortázar, its creator, takes some terms from the lunfardo, although most result from a musical phonetic with Spanish and Greco-Latin semantic roots. I see that some in the Dictionary call it gygic or gylic, but Cortázar himself in chapter 4 of Rayuela calls it glygic probably from the reduplication of the Greek root of glykys, sweet, pleasant as the glucose of the must of the Greek harvests.
