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 ...
