sorry for what?
I do not think that in those days, the Janissaries were people with emotional?
many of them, if not virtually all were castrated at an early age,
their destiny was to be the most valiant soldiers, and efficient as possible
all this, leaves little room for sentimentality or affectation
I imagine most of these guys, were tough and rough,
but with an education that gave them a sense of aesthetics and beauty

thanks again for every things, my Friend

Thanks for Sharing Dom and thanks Zifir for a wonderful insight to the script on the Pala blade. Being both translators for the forum community your work is appreciated!
