Correct, Barry!!! But if you were to use the proper Castillian word here most wouldn’t know what you are speaking of.
One of the coolest things I ran across in research is finding archaic Spanish words in descriptions. An example would be "Buro". We all today know what a "burro" is referring to the donkey critter. But in some spanish manuscripts it refers to elk!!!! Gives another bend that sometimes makes more sense with location descriptions. Like the Buro mountains in The SW Gila. Not saying that’s what the meant, but it is very plausable.
