Pronunciation
Noun
naue f (plural naues)
- ship
c. 1250, Alfonso X, Lapidario, f. 2r:Et el tirar que eſta faz, es ſegũd la quantia della ala del fierro que tira aſſi que en tierra de india en el monte o las fallan que es cerca dela mar alas naues que cabo della paſſan tira todos los clauos dellas por fuerça dela parte o eſta la penna aſſi que los faze yr como ſaetas. ⁊ ſi eſtan bien reblados que los non puede eſtender ⁊ ſacar, faze yr las naues contra ſi tan derrezio, que ſe pecian en las pennas ⁊ perecen.- And the pull that it has depends on the amount of it to the iron it is pulling. So, in the land of India, in the mount where it is found, near the sea, it pulls the nails from the ships that pass it due to its strength in the place where the rock is, so it makes them fly like arrows. And if they are so well nailed in that it cannot reach and draw them, it pulls toward itself the ships with such force that they impact the rock and perish.
- Idem, 38r.
Et la eſtrella delantera delas dos que ſõ enel cabo del maſt dela naue a poder en eſta piedra ⁊ della recibe la fuerça ⁊ la uertud.- And the front star of the two that are in the end of the mast of the ship has power over this stone, and it receives from it strength and virtue.
