Stranèsis dal furlàn

Imprest An imprest is what in Italian passes for anticipo and in fact comes from the Italian imprestare Imprest is also an archaic spelling for impressed. but none of these help us undestand that imprest simply stands for the lowly Friulian tool. Trist Trist ti sòs se bon no ti sòs. No coma'l taliàn, che triste ti permèt di èsi sensa èsi trist. Luliania The reference of course is of the lowly sausage, much lower in rank than that of a salame or of a mušèt —but oh what romance it evokes, what minuets under the chandeliers with all eyes on Princess Luliania and all hearts pounding for her —Oh!
