Anyone speak French? Help!

[Sausagis]

DD stuck with a French word. It's on a Twinkl download sheet she was given but google isn't helping. It's rock pools and she has to draw a lampotte

Any clue? I'll try to put a pic up. Thanks!

limpet?

They're limpets

There is a spelling mistake somewhere. Lampotte doesn't exist

Limpet is a patelle

Lampotte is a synonym of patelle. It isn't used often.

This is on Wiktionnaire Maybe archaic?

lampotte \Prononciation ?\ féminin
(Malacologie) Patelle dont la chair est employée comme appât par les pêcheurs des côtes.
Dans cette même baignoire apparaissaient beaucoup de coquilles bivalves, telles que huîtres et moules, et univalves, telles que lampottes et vignots, et quelques cailloux roulés de la mer. — (Compte-rendu des fouilles effectuées à Étretat, 1842)
Appât fait avec un mollusque.
Au défaut de bons appâts, les pêcheurs se servent de coquillages, comme de moules, de brelins (bredins, bernicles, cuvettes, lampottes), qu'on appelle aussi yeux de bouc. — (Encyclopédie méthodique, 1787)

Anglais : limpet (en)

I wonder if it from a local dialect. It's not in my big dictionary. Seems strange to teach words that even native French speakers (I'm not but my Dds are) don't know.

That would be about right.

I speak Québécois, which can be pretty archaic.

it's not in my big dictionary either and I wondered if it's a local word / old-fashioned word too. eg Spoot isn't in the OED but it's a razor clam where I come from.

I have a friend who was an EU parliament interpreter. She said the fishing committees were a nightmare as nobody called the fish by the names on the list.

Thanks all. Limpet sounds good. I'm not sure about this home educating malarkey - apparently year 4 maths is pushing it for me!

It sounds as though you are doing just fine

Yesterday, my little niece was determined to bake scones because it was on the list of tasks provided by her teacher.

What was the teacher thinking? My DSis didn't even have all the required ingredients. However, after some improvisation, LN made her scones - using frozen pieces of mango (no dried fruit in the house) and out-of-date flour - and proudly sent me a photo.

I've told her they look delicious.

12yo dd has done German, French and Russian today. Meanwhile, I can't remember English...

Is it September yet?
