Notas de uso
- For a baby's bed, culla is smaller and more newborn-specific than lettino; lettino often means a larger baby/toddler bed.
- In the figurative sense, use culla di + noun: la culla del Rinascimento, meaning the birthplace or historic center of something.
- Don't confuse culla with cullare: cullare is the verb 'to rock' or 'to lull.'
