sostantivo

  1. 1

    The portions of a whale that remain after the blubber has been removed, especially the flesh and organs.

    Natives came 30 miles over the ice in two sleighs from Navy Board Inlet; hundreds of mollies following the ship all day for bits of krang and blubber.

    The carcass of the whale, as left after the flensing, is cut to pieces on the platform and receiver for the krang, where krang and bone are elevated and placed in the krang boilers by machinery.

    The harpooner makes a cut across the neck and then down the body, taking care to take as little of the flesh - or 'Krang' as the body is called in whaling language – as possible.

  2. 2

    Anything that remains after flensing (not necessarily from a whale).

    Sideways hurled The krang o ' a warld The sun has flensed Is lyin ' forenenst.

Etimologia

From Dutch kreng (“a carcass”), from Middle Dutch crenge (“carrion, carcass”), compare with Old English cringan (“to fall, yield, cringe”). Cognate with Danish kreng (“a carcass”).
