Randa (f)

(with) definite article: la
? (the) spanker [?]; ➺ remark(s) below
Manca

NB: The only Italian concept "randa" encountered in dictionaries is a nautical term that translates as "miz(z)en", which is a derivative of Arabic ميزان ("mīzān" [balance, scales]); This being the longest pipe, the term is, however, probably related to the Calabrian adjective "randi" (grande [big/large]; Compare Zampogna [a] randi chiavi).
