If "naan bread" is verboten because naan just means "bread", what should I call that particular type of bread? Clearly I can't call it naan, we've just established that means "bread", whereas I'm talking about a specific type of bread.

It turned out that Lara had potentially made up to 40,000 pieces of Mayan, Aztec and other prehistoric pottery. Maybe all the known Totonac ceramic artefacts were made by him. Embarrassingly, museums around the world had bought many of his pieces, for huge sums of money.
