Side-by-Side Comparison
| Feature | Lázaro | lazo |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | Nombre de pila de varón. | Trenza formada con tientos de cuero vacuno de cuatro, seis y hasta ocho ramales de diez a doce brazas de largo; en una de sus extremidades llamada llapa -generalmente de uno o dos ramales más que el resto- se asegura una argolla de fierro o de bronce para formar la armada que se escurra rápidamente una vez arrojada a brazo sobre el animal que se quiere enlazar. La armada se revolea por encima de la cabeza sosteniendo el resto en rollos concéntricos con la izquierda. En el extremo opuesto termina el lazo en una presilla de lonja la cual sirve para que no se escurra de la mano cuando se trabaja de a pie o para asegurarla en la sidera de la cincha cuando se trabaja a caballo. El formado por cuatro o más ramales de tientos trenzados es lo que propiamente se llama lazo entre nosotros, distinguiéndose así de otro más corto y resistente compuesto de una o dos tiras gruesas de cuero retorcidas al cual se denomina sobeo o lazo pampa. |
