ambigu

Tanımlar (İngilizce)

1. isim An entertainment at which a medley of dishes is set on at the same time; a buffet.

   “When straiten'd in your time, and servants few, You'd richly then compose an ambigu; Where first and second course, and your desert, All in one single table have their part.”

2. isim A French card game, somewhat like poker, but of earlier origin and involving different scoring of hands, played with a 40 card deck (four suits of Ace through 10).

   “In France during the following century primero became ambigu, and a little later another variation, called brag, sprang up in the west of England, from which poker is more directly descended in its American form.”
