BOW Key (4 Viewers)

Thanks, Björn,

Corira I shall treat as a variant of Corrira (an artefact).
Goibula (what an ugly name!) is a lapsus for Galbula (the plate shows a bird that could be Brachygalba lugubris), but I am pondering whether the name (an obvious nom. nud.) warrants a separate definition in The Key.

Recently returned from a vacation in the Wild West (Monument Valley, etc.) I have updated The Key from threads in the Bird Name Etymology subforum created 16 September to date. If I have missed anything, or failed to acknowledge anybody (in the appropriate texts or by emoji), my apologies — blame jet-lag and excessive air-conditioning.

In The Key I recently revised and updated the Standard Abbreviations & Symbols / Symbols, Standard Abbreviations and Short Glossary to include more terms and Latin “tags” that readers may encounter. Thanks must go to the speedy and efficient Heather Wolf of Cornell for effecting the wholesale replacement of my texts.
