Grazie VetRitter, ma non è tutto merito mio. E' un insieme di "traduzioni" che ho sentito e raccolto negli anni specialmente tra i miei colleghi che lavorono in ambiente marittime / portuale di Trieste. Ciao

[Ciancele]

Lais = lices. I must contest or better complete a sentence. Die Laus plural die Läuse pronounced LOISE. Austrian people often pronounce OI like AI. For instance: devil = Teufel = TOIFEL = TAIFEL. So old Triestins say LAIS. Ara là = taifi, taifi.

[babatriestina]

Austrian people often pronounce OI like AI.

I have always thaught that this is a Triestine feature: My Grandmother amused me pronouncing Fràilein the word Fräulein, which in German should be said as italian Fròilain .
