What does Escanillu mean?

1 published definition

Escanillu

A crude wooden cradle. In local folklore, it is a sinister bed where depraved servants of dark Cantabrian wind and sea deities place their newborns, though skeptics claim it is no different from the cradles used by good Christians for their pious offspring. (Cantabria is a region in Northern Spain with a distinct mythology and dialect).

We could paint the baby's escanillu green.
