yes turbot ....sounds nice , of all the words to get ...for you Sr O'Brien that word is one of the , many , celtic words that got somehow shoved into Spanish via Gallicia .. i found this for you out of interest ... rodaballo [m] 'turbot', alternative spelling rodavalho, from a Celtic composite form *roto-ball-jo- meaning 'round-extremity', akin to Irish roth 'wheel', Welsh rhod, Breton rod, and Irish ball 'limb, organ'. heres another that should really start a bar fight in Andalucia .... cervexa [f] 'beer', alternative spelling cerveja, from Vulgar Latin *cerevisia, Spanish cerveza; akin to Old Irish coirm, Welsh cwrw, Breton korev. keep your head down ....[:-]
