Dutch ..... Instrumenten die worden gebruikt om insecten te doden, gewoonlijk gemaakt van een plat stuk geperforeerd materiaal of gaas dat is bevestigd aan een handvat. Te onderscheiden van ‘ceremoniële vliegenmeppers’, die men bij zich draagt om vliegen van zich af te slaan en ook kunnen dienen als symbool van maatschappelijke positie of gezag. |
Spanish ..... Instrumentos usados para matar insectos, que generalmente consisten de una pieza plana de material perforado o malla fina de alambre fijada a un mango. Diferente "espantamosca” que se lleva para espantar moscas y pueden servir como distintivos de un cargo importante o de autoridad. |
