This is What the Italians called "karra"
Louie,
Excellent, man. If I remember correctly, you got one of those with the silver wrap for a total steal. Your examples are what Mr. D'Angelo termed as "karra". This came from his Italian colonial military handbook on north African terms and phrases. The book was distributed to soldiers during the occupation of Ethiopia. Someone else noted that "karra" seems like a short form of "kaskara". Interesting comparison, but I don't know if there's a linguistic connection. I just got one this week as well. I'll post pics asap! -d |
