| Meaning 2 | hatched egg without embryo | Если яиц много, то почти всегда бывает один или два «болтуна»: так называется яйцо, в котором не образовался утенок. (Сергей Аксаков, «Записки ружейного охотника Оренбургской губернии») If there are many eggs, almost always there is one or two talkers: this is the name of the egg in which the duckling was not formed. (Sergey Aksakov, Notes of a Hunter in Orenburg Province) |
