The word you're looking for is "dung".The Polish version has creative pretend-Old-Polish curse words. "Chędożyć" (plough, roughly) instead of "pierdolić" (fuck), and such.One thing though. So far i haven't found any modern sounding swearing. Were those in the Polish?
It is as close to the original as possible. "Łajno", used in the book, is an older word for "gnój" and both mean "manure", as opposed to "gówno" which means "shit". However I would not have used "manure" if translating this section to English. In English the simple "shit" is much more appropriate, though I do not doubt a better word could be found with a bit of effort.Like in the first story when the peasants are taunting Geralt one of them says his ears must be full of shit while the Italian uses manure
