lesser


- adjective
- menor

EN Buck multiplied himself, attacking from all sides, enveloping the herd in a whirlwind of menace, cutting out his victim as fast as it could rejoin its mates, wearing out the patience of creatures preyed upon, which is a lesser patience than that of creatures preying.
PT Buck multiplicava-se, atacando de todos os lados, envolvendo a manada num turbilhão de ameaças, barrando o caminho à sua vítima sempre que ela procurava reunir-se aos companheiros, e a todos arrasando a paciência, que é sempre menor nas criaturas perseguidas que nas que perseguem.
