A rose by any other name

edit

OK what is the proper name in Italian!! The Author uses three in the article and my best resource which uses one of the same references uses another. Was the author prey to a spell-checker brain-fart?

I plump for Cribbio

Thought I would summarise here. Carib and Club were both typos, now sorted. Oops! As far as Crib vs Cribbio: the name worried me, as I had seen Cribbio somewhere; but the Italian book Italian Vintage Aircraft calls it the Crib throughout, with no suggestion it's a contraction, so Crib is what I used. I think that's the best name we have unless someone can find an equally authoritative source for Cribbio. I've only got a little Italian dictionary (and Google) and could not find Crib; but Ciani tended to jokey names, sometimes from the Milanese dialect like Urendo, so who knows? Pedrelli does not attempt to explain it as he often does with other aircraft.TSRL (talk) 09:37, 27 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
