LOL!
I had 8yrs of Latin and a year of Classical Greek, so to me it’s a smelly, ill-tempered fur coat. Stay upwind if you get near one.
Interestingly, when my co-leader, who is from Mexico, introduced the song, the only people who associated “llama” with the Andean quadruped were me and the Ecuadorian sisters, Ruth and Rocio. The other Mexicans heard “flame,” and the Puerto Ricans heard “call.”
Homonyms ... the bane of human language.
“so to me it’s a smelly, ill-tempered fur coat”
My son took four years of Latin and Spanish - he said the two were very similar. (He knew Latin first, never studied his Spanish and got straight A’s). So which came first? The Llama or the smelly fur coat?!
