BOW Key (12 Viewers)

Thanks, Björn,

Corira I shall treat as a variant of Corrira (an artefact).
Goibula (what an ugly name!) is a lapsus for Galbula (the plate shows a bird that could be Brachygalba lugubris), but I am pondering whether the name (an obvious nom. nud.) warrants a separate definition in The Key.

Recently returned from a vacation in the Wild West (Monument Valley, etc.) I have updated The Key from threads in the Bird Name Etymology subforum created 16 September to date. If I have missed anything, or failed to acknowledge anybody (in the appropriate texts or by emoji), my apologies — blame jet-lag and excessive air-conditioning.
