Agreed Chris.
However in this case i saw the navaja in question and the spelling is correct; it is the reading that wasn't ;) .

Touche! :D

But on second thoughts, the cutler still cannot spell because the correct version is "tiemblan"


Cheers

Maybe not a cutler's mispell, Chris.
More like my short sight.
... or a certain influence of having a lot of similar terms both in castillian as in portuguese, all derived from as many similar terms in latin ... tremĕre, timĕre, tremulare (which gave temblar).

I too, just now, initially read it as "tremblan", though my eyes airen't what they used to be :eek: though with a bit of imagination I can also read it as "tiemblan".

Cheers
