Quote:Well, in a classical sense, "bursa" is a skin stripped of, and "skutos" is skin in general (latin Cutis), and something made of leather (the root also has to do with shoemakers).
Is the latin term "Bursa", which I think means sack or pouch, related? Would Pollux's greek be influenced by the latin?
