crotal

/ ˈkrɒtəl /

noun

Origin of crotal¹

Gaelic crotal

My father seemed to age perceptibly, reflecting on his companion gone, and he clung to me like the crotal to the stone.

Too much crotal will make the wool a dark red brown, but a very pretty terra cotta red can be got.

Thereafter, on cushioned beds were repasts, long and savorous, eaten to the sound of crotal and of flute.

It is better, however, to get the shade by altering the quantity of Crotal used.
