pagne
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: pagnes
Etymology: Borrowed from French pagne. Doublet of pan, pane, and pannus.
Senses: examples: text: In Senegal the local cloth currency, pagne, made of tama, or strips, was increasingly supplemented by French imported indigo-dyed cloth from India called guinee . The guinee was used as currency in lower Senegal. In upper Senegal it became a larger unit equivalent to a number of pagnes. The exchange rate between guinee, pagnes, and francs became more complicated from the 1830s as a result of excessive imports of guinees and francs.
