Graile (gender unknown)

(with) definite article: ? [sa/la, el?]
(the) crow? / cricket?
Sac de gemecs

Entry in Marcuse, without source; Dubious entry in McCandless, who refers to the 1988 »Proceedings of the International Bagpipe Symposium«, held in The Hague (NL), as his source [in which the instrument is not treated as a subject, however]; Term probably taken from the equally dubious entry in Sachs (Reallexikon); NB: ➺ homonyms / homophones.
