paleta¹

¹ = paddle, pallet, pallet, trowel, bat.

Ex: The stuff was diluted there with water to the appearance and consistency of liquid porridge; it was kept tepid with a small charcoal furnace let into the side of the vat, and it was stirred up occasionally with a paddle.

Ex: The production machinery is interlinked by automatic handling devices (such as robots), automatic transfer systems (such as guided pallets) and communication lines.

Ex: The most usual tools (which were generally made of brass, set in wooden handles like chisels) were simple design units such as lines set on curved rockers (pallets).

Ex: Because the shoulder blade resembles the blade of a trowel, the word 'scapula' is thought to have come from the Greek "skaptein" meaning 'to dig'.

Ex: Sometimes no matter what your self motivation is, or how hard you try it seems life is beating you with a bat.

* barco de vapor con paletas = paddle-steamer.

* paleta de colores = palette, palette of colours.
