Boudego / Boudègo / Boudegon (m)
(with) definite article: loBagpipe, mouth-blown: 2 stocks (a: single chanter / b: drone)
Dépt. Aude; According to Mistral: Boudego = cornemuse; Boudegon = small cornemuse [?]; NB¹ (Boudègo): Spelling mentioned by Alexandre and Wikipedia; NB²: ➺ Bodegon; NB³: Piat defines the spelling Boudego as "Cast.", but unfortunately I was unable to detect an explanation for that abbreviation, which seems to refer to some dialect that I was unable to find, however, in any of the sources available to me... (The suggestion that it may refer to Castilian [i.e. Spanish] should in my perception be dismissed as being dubious); NB4: ➺ Sansogno; NB5: ➺ Boudègo (metaphor); NB6: Boudego also translates as "winery"; NB7: According to Alexandre, Jean Doujat mentions the term in his »Ditciounari [sic; ➺ NB9 (below)] moundi« (Toulousa*, 1638), as an "espace réduit situé sous un escalier" [a small space located under a staircase]), but this definition doesn't occur in the 1895 edition of this dictionary; NB8: Piat also mentions "fa peta la boudego" which he translates as "to sound the Boudego", but I was unable to find this in other sources; NB9: The typo (Ditciounari) actually occurs once in Doujat (➺ Archive.org, p.[8]); NB10: ➺ homonym (Provence: Boudego).
