| Do you know the brand of that nice ostrich, Fernando? A linguistic curiousity, in most languages, the name of the ostrich is derived from struthĭo, the Latin name of the animal, in Italian it changed to struzzo, Ductsch to strauss, Latvian strutis, Romanian Struț , etc., etc. I was always curious why in Portuguese language we prefixed the word Aves to it and the result is avestruz. As it was influenced by the provençal estrutz, the natural evolution should be estruz. Now I noticed the Spanish word is also avestruz , isn't it nice that our languages share the same useless things? |

| This avestruz is unbranded made in china. Spanish vs Portuguese........both are Romance languages with many similarities. |
