Example sentences for: yeguas
How can you use “yeguas” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
At horse latitudes , the author has picked up the theory that it comes from “ golfo de las yeguas , `gulf of the mares,' which was the Spanish name for the ocean between Spain and the Canary Islands and compares the supposed fickleness of mares with the fickle winds in these latitudes.”
As far as I have been able to determine, golfo de las yeguas is a complete fiction, for there is no evidence for any such designation in any gazetteer that I could find nor at the Royal Geographical Society.
Consequently, I did not expect much when I looked up my favorite entry, horse latitudes , for which Jeans repeats the conventional theory (to the effect that the Spaniards used to throw starving horses overboard when they were becalmed, which I maintain to be an incredibly poor fiction); he also brings in Golfo de las Yeguas gulf of mares, which I have been able to find, with the help of the Royal Geographical Society, only inland in Spain.
