ORIGEN DE LA PARAULA- ¿PERAIRE, PARAIRE O PELAIRE?: Amb motiu de l'exposició "A Catí, peraires", organitzada per l'Associació de Dones de Catí, es van presentar els següents dubtes: - És correcte peraire? - Seria més correcte dir pelaire? - Cóm es diu aquest ofici en valencià i en castellà? - Amb un buscador d'internet (Google.es) he buscat les tres paraules (peraire, paraire, pelaire) i he pogut comprovar el següent: - La paraula "pelaire" es troba preferentment als textos d'idioma castellà i rarament en alguns textos d'idioma català o valencià. - Les paraules "peraire" i "paraire" es troben als textos d'idioma català o valencià i no als textos castellans, encara que "paraire" sovinteja molt més que "peraire". - Sabem que molts cognoms actuals procedeixen d'oficis antics (fuster, ferrer, moliner ...). El cognom "peraire" és més freqüent que el cognom "paraire" especialment en pobles de la nostra comarca (Albocàsser, Benassal, Vilar de Canes, Culla, Sant Mateu...) - Lo que resulta ben clar és que les tres paraules (peraire, paraire, pelaire) es refereixen a un mateix significat, a un mateix ofici, el de ***cardador de llana***. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2010-09-14 13:48:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or "wool comber" Full text of "Technological dictionary; English Spanish, Spanish ...
