I have plagued Laura with this several times before, but now I have more ppl to plague...
In Sweden, a half-and-half twill (2/2, 3/3, 4/4 but NOT 3/3/1/1) is called a Batavia. Batavia has (obviously) to have an even number of shafts. If I say "a 16 shaft Batavia" to a Swe weaver, s/he would know I meant an 8/8 twill.
Can Batavia be used for this kind of simple structure in (pick your language)?
