>I must confess I linked David's webpage but had not read it... oops Bad boy! I think we must also be careful not to believe that' traditional' designs necessarily had a 'traditional' name. 'La bolsa', for instance, is a title (in Spanish) that only appears once (as far as we know) for a design that only appears once in a Spanish book (as far as we know, prior to 1970). Many 'traditional' designs have multiple names in the literature, multiple names, that is, in the same language, not just in different languages. So deciding what a design should properly be called is difficult, if not impossible ... Dave
