volada: 1st_ Female of the flying adjective . 2o_ Female form of the participle of the verb fly . 3o_ In graphic or printing is the reduced letter and highest set (similar to a superscript) to form abbreviations. [note : A typical case is abbreviated ordinals; p . E.g. in this entry the 'third' is written as '3o_' ( 3 'o' volley '_' ), although it is an intentional spelling error, since the correct form '3 . o' can be confused by the point with the end of a previous entry. The underscore simulates another correct spelling for abbreviations that would be the underlining of the fly without the dot. ]
tahuantinsuyo: Tahuantinsuyo is the name given by the Incas to the territory that encompassed their empire in the middle of the fifteenth century until the Spanish conquest in the sixteenth century.

See laundry ( sword ), babieca ( horse ) .
drácula: He is a fictional character, in a novel of the same name by the Irish writer Abraham "Bram" Stoker (1897), presented as a count from Transylvania who is actually a human vampire. The name is inspired by the nickname of a 15th-century historical character named Vlad III, "The Impaler", Prince of Wallachia (Romania), who while a cruel enemy of the Ottoman invaders and is said to have drunk their blood during meals, was not a vampire. The nickname "Impaler" earned it for the way he executes his prisoners; but that of "Dracula" is earlier, inherited from his father Vlad II, called Dracul (sometimes translated from Romanian as "the lucifer, the devil" ) or Draco ("dragon" in Latin, for being a prominent member of the Order of the Dragon), being then his diminutive Dracula : "the dragon" or "the son of the dragon". While Stoker's character was not the first literary vampire (see Carmilla) he became a model for other novels, films, series and video games to this day, as well as an adjective for any bloodsucker (exploiter).
