Hi, may i come in?
A little part missing in the first phrase: Quote:
As for the viper atribution, Chris, i have a varied perspective. In Spain, like in Portugal, there are three diferent terms ( maybe all over ). Cobra, used for generically mentionning the reptile (at least in Portugal) Serpiente=Serpente, used often in mystic situations, and Vibora, necessarily a poisonous snake. Cobra is only atributed to the reptile, Serpente can be used to conotate an evil person, and Vibora to conotate a poisonous ( speech ) person. So in the case of Navajas, i think the "Vibora" sense is that of a lethal snake = Cobra venenosa. Forget if i am talking nonsense. All the best Last edited by fernando; 2nd November 2007 at 06:05 PM. |
