> Cosas extrax * Perdón - I picked this word to express that the dirty fighter is of higher status. * Context is non - elegant or informal sword fighting. * Manera is used since the word deal way as in manners or sytle * Cese formal command form * Sucia : The intention is express that the sword fighting is pretty formal style, common among royals, but instead the informal sword style that is common among soilders or commoners. Also gender agreement * Lucando = to fight in the geruindo form
