I checked my french-english dictionary (it's only a pocket one, so it's
not very complete) and neither
word was in the french side... (my guess is that this is only *derived*
from french)
the translation from english Verdigris to french is vertdegris
close though :)
ps: i don't know why i have a french-english dictionary... or a russian
or a german one... huh.
