A rock that is not delivered with enough weight or which strays from its path to come and rest wide of the house. 1, record 1, English, - rock%20that%20falls%20short%20of%20the%20house
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The expression "rock that hangs" means any rock that does not follow the desired path or that does not reach the target: it hangs (in French, "it falls - elle tombe") before getting to it. It could thus be a rock that drifts from the intended path or a rock that does not reach the house. 2, record 1, English, - rock%20that%20falls%20short%20of%20the%20house

Pierre qui n'est pas lancée avec assez de force ou qui dévie de sa trajectoire de telle sorte qu'elle ne parvient pas à atteindre la cible [qui, en ce cas-ci, est la maison]. 1, record 1, French, - pierre%20qui%20n%27atteint%20pas%20la%20maison
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'expression «pierre qui tombe» se dit de toute pierre qui ne suit pas la trajectoire souhaitée ou qui n'atteint pas l'objectif visé : elle tombe (en anglais «elle s'accroche - it hangs») avant d'y arriver. Il peut donc s'agir d'une pierre qui a dévié de la trajectoire impartie ou de celle qui n'a pas atteint la maison. 2, record 1, French, - pierre%20qui%20n%27atteint%20pas%20la%20maison
