Well observed.
"feathered" is the English word. It is not necessarily pilot commanded, most prop aircraft will have an autofeather system that will immediately feather the props of a failed engine if armed. Depending on different aircraft / operator procedures, the autofeather may be armed for the entire duration of the flight, or only in critical phases (takeoff and landing). Not sure how it works on an An-26 though.

In An 26 it's feathered manually, I've got An 24 experience, if you don't make it with feathering on time following eng. failure you might have some problems with handling, it's about 80° feathering. And it does look like feathering.
