Dear List,
There are frequent references in Ada to "Bras d´Or" which have certainly nothing
to do with "Brasil" and, geographically doesn´t even come close to it.
I wonder if this "d´O" is to add more emphasis to the other "d´O" characters (
Baron D´O or Skonky ) or if it is a reference to a famous vintage cognac,
Hennessy´s " Bras d´Or".

EDNOTE. I think ADAOnline has something on this. I suspect your cognac
suggestion is quite plausible and perhaps "donkey" lurks somewhere in Baron
D'Onsky.
