I'm italian. The words "lute" and "luthier" came from french words that came from the italian word "liuto" or "leuto", that came from the portuguese word "laud" or "alaud", that came from the arabian word "(al) 'ud".
The " 'ud" is an ancient arabian instrument exported during the middle ages by arabs in Sicily and Portugal.

He is the 'Artist formerly known as Prince'. And he is funky.

Aside from developing flight sims and stoically ignoring his customers (lol), He also builds electric ukeleles as a sideline and gives all proceeds to starving Romanian Meerkat orphanage charities.

Look, there's nothing else to talk about, so I might as well talk out of my arse. 'Why change the habit of a lifetime' chimes in a 'Defender of the Faith' *TM* but to be fair, I did learn from the best. Thanks, 1C.
