parra

The 'Parra Africana' runs about on the surface, as if walking on water, catching insects.

From its shape this is called the cuatrillo, Parra having adopted for it an old form of the figure 4.

Send round the punch, Dan; an' give us a song, Parra Gastha.

At the rate of one parra per month for each person, 1,875 people could be maintained for two years with this store of rice.

Parra Gastha's the boy that knows his duty—more power, Parra Gastha!
