igabrum
  40

That's what the Romans called from the 2nd century a. D. C. to the Turdetan oppidum of Licabrum heir of Tartessos, which corresponds to the present Cordoba city of Cabra, whose gentile is therefore egabrense, as our Dictionary notes. In the 1960s, during our dictatorship, Minister José Solís, a natural of Cabra, defended in a parliamentary speech : Less Latin and more sport! Because what's Latin for now? To which Adolfo Muñoz Alonso replied from his seat that he was later rector of the Complutense University : Suddenly, Mr. Minister, so that the honourable Member, who was born in Cabra, may be called egabrense and not something else.
