Thanks so much David!!! Thinkin' outside the box again...right or wrong, its fun to evaluate data.

Thank you Gonzalo, for explaining the more concise definition of lobera. Naturally as a non Spanish speaker, despite variations and semantics, I sort of expected that there might be more to the term's actual meaning. Still, in romanticized allusion, who knows where the intended use of such a term might have gone on those times. Perhaps the place where the wolf swords were made (born) was a 'lair'? Doesn't really sound too much more bizarre than the allegories I read through concerning the names applied to the swords of the chilvalric heroes, including flaming swords, etc.


Thanks again for your observations on my notes, as always I appreciate your knowledgable input as I offer these speculations.

All very best regards,
Jim
