名詞

llama (plural llamas)

1. Archaic form of lama.
   • 1861, Anthony Trollope, Framley Parsonage:

     He was, as it were, a great Llama, shut up in a holy of holies, inscrutable, invisible, inexorable,—not to be seen by men's eyes or heard by their ears, hardly to be mentioned by ordinary men at such periods as these without an inward quaking.
