Buff! Cuéstame mucho traducir (el mi inglés... cada vez peor). No obstante, aquí en Langreo, tengo oío muches veces la palabra ruxideru, que creo que no está en les definiciones que Is nos pon.

Dai al nenu el ruxideru, a ver si deja de llorar!!!!.

Ye un sonajeru, un juguete pa los neños pequeños que suena al movelu, mientres lu cogen po´l mangu.

En los mercaos tradicionales Astures, tan de moda aquí cuando tamos en Fiestes, hay ruxideros fechos de mimbre con piedrines dentro. El mi nenu tien un y son muy guapos.

Salud pa toos.

Whew! It takes me a lot of work to translate (my English... it's worse by the day). Nevertheless, here in Langreo, I've heard many times the word "ruxideru," which I think is not in the definitions that Is has given us.

Dai al nenu el ruxideru, a ver si deja de llorar!!!! [Give the baby the rattle and let's see if she'll stop crying!]

It's a rattle, a toy for small children which makes a noise when you move it, while you hold it by the handle.

In the Asturian "mercaos tradicionales" [traditional market], which are so popular here when we have a fiesta [public celebration], there are [for sale] ruxideros [rattles] made of wicker with little stones inside. My child has one and they're very attractive.

Salud pa toos. [Cheers to everyone!]

"Les ruxideres" es también el nombre que reciben esas piezas redondas de hojalata que se colocan por pares en el aro de las panderetas. Conozco el vocabulario y las acepciones que da Paul, pero personalmente lo que yo tengo escuchado en conversación es expresiones como "¿Qué ruxes"?, dicho a alguien que masculla entre dientes, refunfuña, habla por lo bajo, etc.

Saludos

"The ruxideres" is also the name given to those round pieces of tin that are placed in pairs in the hoop (frame) of tambourines. I know of the terms and meanings that Paul gave, but personally what I've heard in conversation is expressions like, "¿Qué ruxes?", said to someone who mutters between their teeth, grumbles, speaks very softly, etc.

Best wishes,

Gracias, Perrenaca ya Carlos!

Ruxideru (courtesy of Perrenaca): A hand-held toy made of wood, reeds, calabash or gourd shell, with a round top and loose pebbles or dried beans inside. Like a ruhmba shaker or maraca, they come in pairs and are meant to be shaken by children to blow steam off by making noise, as in the phrase: 'Da-y al nenu el ruxideru, a ver si dexa de llorar'.

Ruxideres (courtesy of Carlos): The sets of small, round clash cymbals or tin/brass plates on a 'pandereta' or 'pandeiru', the typical frame drum from Asturias and Galicia, similar to the Irish bodhrán. The frame drum is made of rawhide and the metallic plates are inserted into slots on the frame itself. In Asturias, frame drums with 'ruxideres' can be round or squared.

For an example of a round-type 'pandereta' with ruxideres, go to this utube link and listen to Sagrario from Cuturrasu (County of Llangreu). She is 101 years old and a riot. As of minute 3:22 she sings her song 'Enguedeyeme nel bardial' (I got stuck in the hedge) with Xose Anton Ambas, both of them playing a 'pandereta': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSH_7KEhLpA

For an example of a square-type 'pandeiru' (but without ruxideres), go to this utube link to see Enriqueta from the village of Xichon (Guillon in Spanish), County of Cangas del Narcea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okU5hr4N ... ed&search=
