Many thanks for the clarification Jim,

I now have a much better understranding of these terms and weapon types. It trully is fascinating to see how they disceminated throughout an entire continent.
I was unaware that Jewish craftsmen were also producing weapons, thanks for the info. It stands to reason then that they may have brought some knowledge and technology from Spain as well. But then again, the North-African coast has a long history of interaction with the Continent.
So now I can add "s'boula" to my vocabulary

Warm Regards,
Emanuel
