der

Au milieu de l’armoire on voyait sculpté un homme d’une singulière apparence : il ricanait toujours, car on ne pouvait pas dire qu’il riait. Il avait des jambes de bouc, de petites cornes à la tête et une longue barbe. Les enfants l’appelaient le Grand-général-commandant-en-chef-Jambe-de-Bouc, nom qui peut paraître long et difficile, mais titre dont peu de personnes ont été honorées jusqu’à présent.

1845, Hans Christian Andersen, La Bergère et le Ramoneur:

In the middle of the wardrobe was a sculpture of a man with a peculiar appearance. He was always sneering – you couldn't call it laughing. He had the legs of a goat, little horns on his head and a long beard. The children called him Grand-General-Commander-in-Chief-Goat-Legs. The name may seem long and difficult, but very few people have been honoured with that title until now.
