Cicūta (f)
Bagpipe (unknown type)
From Ferruccio Calonghi, »Dizionario latino-italiano«, 3a ed. rifusa ed aggiornata del Dizionario Georges-Calonghi (Torino, 1964), the text of which reads as follows [Transl. WS]: "the stem served to make whistles/flageolets or zampogne; meton[ymically] = zampogna "made with the stem, with a reed of hemlock", Verg. ecl. 5, 35..."; NB¹: Taking the definitions of Zampogna in the 1898 edition of Calonghi's »Dizionario« in consideration (➺ fistula [reed-pipe], siringa [syrinx/panpipes], zufolo [whistle], &c.), I consider the suggestion of a relation between this term and any type of bagpipe rather questionable; NB²: Because definite and indefinite articles are unknown in Latin, the addition of such in Utriculus (➺ below) is equally dubious; NB³: ➺ Cicūticen and Cicūticina.
Utriculus IV;1 (13), gennaio/marzo 1995, Miscellanea zampognara, p.26: “La cicuta e il cicuticen” (»Calonghi, 1964, c.466).
