QUERY: "favoniennes" in French LOLITA
Date
Body
From: Biblio Sainte-Luce <plaplant@cgocable.ca>



In the chapter XI of lolita, there is a paragraph beginning with SUNDAY. In
the french translation, the first phrase refers to a "une semaine des plus
favoniennes." What is the sense of this word "favoniennes" ?
