what does Farrón mean?

Question

Hi there! I cant come up with any results for the word Farrón

the context is:

"Alli y esa hora fue cuando don Bruno Menoret que andaba mironeando lo que el llamaba el "Farrón Castrense"

Is farron some kind of military term of related to a lamp??

Any ideas u have would be a great help!

Answer 1

Could it be a misspelling? To me it looks like it might be "Faraón" which means pharaoh, but I don't understand the context. Mironeando is also not a word I know.

Answer 2

The text is from Paraguay its from

A. Roa Bastos "Hijo de Hombre"
