The Dijon poet Aloysius Bertrand sometimes uses local terms, either knowingly or unknowingly; these words are mainly the names of common objects, like the battoir (rouillot), or battledore, of washerwomen, or place names (like the sinister Chèvre-Morte). This article compiles a record of these uses in Gaspard de la Nuit, the first part of which is situated in Dijon, based on the accumulated knowledge of the dialectologists of the twentieth century.
