Hi Douglas,

You are right, Catalan, French and Italian have much more in commun than with the Castillan (Spanish). Tomber in French minds to fall, the Catalan  word Tomb would be better translated as “tour” = go around something.

Cheers
Lluis

>>> Another interesting collection, Lluis, about a fascinating custom. I wonder if the Tres Tombs is related to the three falls of Christ while carrying the cross on the way to Golgotha?
