Assistance needed:
Barathrum is a word used by Hugo in Les Miserables in reference to the bottom
of one of or the worst sewer. in Paris. I cannot find it in any of my
available dictionaries but only as the name of a Finish Heavy Metal Rock band
and it is possible, but I was not sure, carrying the Finish meaning of "dark
metal". Since it is only one word out of 1280 pages I should not let it bother
me but it does.
Any more information of a more probable definition in a book written by a
Frenchman in 1875 in the Channel Isles would be appreciated.
