Hi Fernando,

Voz equivalente a mil".

As if the bragging dwarf freqüented a determined Inn, that of Candil.

I accidently see that the term appears often in Cervantes work where, for one, Dom Quixote envisions all Ventas as Castles.

Thanks for the correction, but you already did so back in 2017 with post #24 of this thread.

Cheers
