Note: Implements carried to brush away flies; in a ceremonial context, especially in Africa, also serving as a symbol of high position or authority; usually made of flexible fibers mounted on a handle. For instruments used to kill insects, usually consisting of a flat piece of perforated material or wire mesh attached to a handle, use "fly swatters." |

Dutch ..... Draagbaar gereedschap om vliegen te verwijderen. In een ceremoniële context, voornamelijk in Afrika, dienen ze ook als symbolen voor een hoge positie of autoriteit. Meestal gemaakt van flexibele vezels, die zijn bevestigd aan een handvat. Gebruik 'vliegenmeppers' voor instrumenten die worden gebruikt om insecten te doden, gewoonlijk gemaakt van een plat stuk geperforeerd materiaal of gaas dat is bevestigd aan een handvat. |
