Punt’’e Kirias (m)

(with) definite article: ? [su?]
(the) key for the Kyrie (Eleison of the Mass)
Identical types: 29

Obsolete name, discovered (late 1950-1960s) by Dionigi Burranca; Bakx mentions it as one of 8 obsolete or rarely used types (the other 7 being the Fiorassiu argentinu, Fiuda allirga, Fiuda bagadia in fa minore, Mediana in re maggiore, Mesu puntu, Morisku, and Tertsu puntu), stating that some (though failing to specify which) of these are, as he calls them, "fake" kuntsertus.
