[Action de renverser] les 10 quilles [...] avec deux boules. 4, record 5, French, - r%C3%A9serve
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Un jeu est fait de deux lancers de boule, sauf pour le dixième carreau. Dans ce dernier cas, si toutes les quilles sont renversées avec la première boule, soit l'exploit appelé «abat», ou si elles le sont avec les deux, soit ce que l'usage populaire a traduit par «réserve», le quilleur a droit à trois lancers en tout. 2, record 5, French, - r%C3%A9serve
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Au sujet de «réserve», notons qu'il s'agit bel et bien d'une traduction littérale. Celle-ci est-elle justifiée? On peut en douter à partir des sens attestés du mot, même en faisant état de locution «en réserve» et du fait que la 2ème boule en est toujours une «de réserve». Aussi, nous ferions une suggestion néologique. Si l'«abat», jugé le coup par excellence, est effectué avec une seule boule, pourquoi ne parlerait-on pas du «demi-abat» - tout autant que de la réserve - pour signaler le fauchage effectué avec les deux boules réglementaires? 2, record 5, French, - r%C3%A9serve
