| noohlmahl 不译 Explanation: 这个单词仍然来自Kwakuitl/Kwakwaka'wakw （夸奇乌托族国/夸夸嘉夸族国）语言，其具体含义如下： Noohlmahl is derived from a long Kwakiutl tradition. He appears satirically at ceremonies as a lord chamberlain, carefully watching for any transgression of protocol and reacting wildly to a misstep by a dancer or the use of an improper name. Drooping eyebrows, a greatly exaggerated nose with runny nostrils, and matted hair are characteristics of Noohlmahl, who is given a distinctly feline cast in this mask and half a dozen others. Such masks are thought to have originated from Quatsino, a remote coastal village on Vancouver Island in Canada, and may have been inspired by carvings of lion's heads on European and American trading ships. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day22 hrs (2008-08-10 06:12:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 根据英文发音可以译为：奴厄摩（Noohlmahl ）。 |
