Dear List,
 
There are frequent references in Ada to "Bras dŽOr" which have certainly nothing to do with "Brasil" and, geographically doesnŽt even come close to it. 
I wonder if this "dŽO"  is to add more emphasis to the other "dŽO" characters ( Baron  DŽO or Skonky )  or if it is a reference to a famous vintage cognac, HennessyŽs " Bras dŽOr".
