Pronunciation
Noun
cala muschi f
- (hydronym) A cove in Sicily, Italy, specifically placed inside the nature reserve of Vendicari.
Usage notes
- The word muschi seems to mean at first glance the feminine plural of musca (“fly”), so much so that this name ended up being mistakenly translated by the official Italian toponymy as "Cala Mosche", that is "cove of the flies", as well as many other places, including for example Isola delle Femmine.
- In reality this toponym means "cove of mosses", which the semantic Italian outcome would have been "Cala Muschi", because muschi is the masculine plural of muscu.
