Hi Ian,

Compaņia has the feminine genre. Regimiento is of the masculine genre.

So 4 a would be Cuarta (4th) Compaņia. To that, you can add that Cia. is also an accepted abbreviation for Compaņia.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Those pesky romance verbs, tenses, adverbs and genres.

(OTOH, our pronunciation is more predictable ie. men ace / menace )

: )

PD: Just think about Spanglish in NY and LA. Now you have a headache..!

The number 2 has an A after it, not a O.
