Tanımlar (İngilizce)

1. sıfat Synonym of puellile (“characteristic of, or pertaining to, a girl or girls”).

   “Mr. Dickinson’s novel would have been stronger if he had kept in mind Talleyrand’s maxim, “Les superlatifs sont les cachets des sots;” since his hero’s extravagant swearing is puerile or even puelline—puelline at least in strength of language being a girl’s index of strength of character.”
