The Epiphany Album !

[Galician]

Thank you for such lovely photos. It looks like you have a lovely home and sense of tradition. I am puzzled by the dialogue with your daughters. Phebe? I am assuming that Domine is Latin for "Lord." Am I wrong?

I am puzzled by the dialogue with your daughters. Phebe? I am assuming that Domine is Latin for "Lord." Am I wrong?

Phebe is used in the sense of "young one", Domine: "the eldest".

In big families you sometimes had four generations separating the eldest and the youngest one of the clan...

One translation of the dialogue could be :

-Oh Young one !
- Yes, dear forefather !
- To whom shall I give this share of cake ?
- To Peter... Paul... etc.


Best,

Robert
