romàs

English translation: remained / spent

Catalan term or phrase: romàs
This is from Gencat regulations for obtaining an international dog, cat or ferret passport. I assume they mean individaul stalls, but I can't find a reference.

Does anyone know of a good online dictionary/resource besides GREC, DACCO and TERMCAT?

"Respecte als animals de menys de tres mesos sense vacunar, els estats membres poden autoritzar el seu desplaçament sempre que vagin acompanyats del seu passaport i que hagin nascut en una instal•lació en la qual hagi romàs des del seu naixement sense entrar en contacte amb animals salvatges que hagin pogut estar exposat a la ràbia, o que acompanyi a la mare, si encara en depèn."

English translation:remained / spent
Explanation:
Ben, it's the past participle of "romandre" (to remain/stay/spend). Here it obv. means they've been out of contact of wild animals their whole life.

I didn't even notice you'd posted it under Spanish. It is of course Catalan (as you note when citing the Grec)

agree  Julie Waddington: "Remained" sounds better than "spent" and has the added advantage that you don't have to change the whole structure around as you would have to with "spent".
