A rose by any name....

would have just as many thorns

_________________
The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

Can't speak to the latter, but the former is definitely correct. I'm basing this on Godin using the word; I definitely won't contradict the French on how to speak it :)

I love when I search ebay using the luthier or lutherie terms and ebay automatically changes it to Lutheran because it thinks I made a mistake...Mike
