Always a pleasure Jim!
I'll keep the translations coming whenever I get the time.
And besides, the flyssa is my obsession

Cheers,
Emanuel

just found this web page while looking for something else. in french, but nice illustrations!

Linky

note: for those of us, like me, who are not conversant with the french language, running the page thru the bablefish web page translator at this Linky is most enlightening. info on construction, patterning and tribal connections as well as derevation of the name and connections to yataghans.....

The Flissa term was given by French by deformation of Iflissen. Kabyles, as for them, seem to have used Sekkim or Iskin (knife), and, according to Carette (Study on Kabylie), the Arab term Khedama.
