Puppet.

edit

"Burattino means wooden puppet or doll in Italian." This is technically true, but the term came from the character, and the word Burattino originally meant a 'small donkey.' I can cite this out of Duchartre's book of the commedia (which is already quoted in the article) and out of older Italian dictionaries like Florio. But whoever wrote this also gives a citation, I'm trying to figure out some way to clear this up....--76.113.198.232 (talk) 05:02, 12 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
