Résumé anglais Escoufle, hüa, milan, nieble: a lexicological analysis The “escoufle” (kite), which gave its name to Jean Renart's first romance, is a despised vulture, whose names have evolved over the centuries. From milvus to escoufle, hua(t), huan(t), huar(t) or ni(e)ble in the Middle Ages, the bird has returned through French to its Latin origins and is now more commonly called milan (kite), while still maintaining its pejorative symbolism.
