The only way to define an archlute as distinct from a theorbo is to
ignore the myriad historical examples where the terms are used interchangeably.
This distinction is similar to calling
Dear Peter,

If significantly lower string tensions are employed than those commonly used
nowadays, a plain gut high twist bass can sound fine without requiring loaded
strings (which may, or may not, have existed). Of course one needs to pluck
much closer to the bridge than is the common modern fashion
