Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: From Ibero- + Romance.
Base: Romance

Inflected forms:

gloss: Of or relating to these languages.
pos: adj
tags: not-comparable
examples: If we assume that a division between 'Gallo-Romance' and 'Ibero-Romance' is valid, it is evident that French belongs to the former, Spanish and Portuguese to the latter. But how is Catalan to be treated, a language which exhibits features of both these groups? Is it essentially a Gallo-Romance or an Ibero-Romance language? The debate about this thorny question has occupied comparative Romance linguists for decades (see [..]). Badia i Margarit found a convincing solution to this long-standing problem with his frequently quoted formula that Catalan is a 'bridge language' between the Iberian Peninsula and France ([..]).
Although such an account seems feasible and can fit the Old Spanish data well, it fails to provide a reason for the merger between ʎ₁ and ʎ₂ in other Ibero-Romance varieties, such as Catalan, Navarro-Aragonese, and a few dialects of Leonese, as pointed out by Lapesa (1981: 166):
As is the case for Gallo-Romance, Spanish has been in linguistic contact with its Ibero-Romnce neighbor varieties throughout its history, especially considering their intertwined sociopolitical past. Although some have claimed that the impact of Ibero-Romance varieties on standard Spanish is fairly reduced (e.g., …), recent studies point out the need for more fine-grained historical research to determine the full extent of their (mutual) influence in the domain of morphosyntax where the influence of the eastern Ibero-Romance languages, in particular (Navarro-)Aragonese, appears to have been underestimated.

Any style of music can become steampunk if the story is right. Thus the rise of a seemingly incongruous pairing: steampunk rap, or chap-hop.
[…] the compliment has now been returned, with the rise of a style known as chap-hop, in which people in tweeds such as Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer freestyle over a banjulele accompaniment barbed songs of political comment such as 'They Don't Allow Rappers in the Bullingdon' (2012).

It would still remain a perfectly good Bill without the Clause. Its presence in it is nothing but what I said earlier, namely, a typical example of coat-trailing.
I am not prepared to be involved or drawn into a controversy on the one hand with those who proposed to abolish the name in a coat-trailing political exercise or on the other hand with those who rose to that bait and opposed the decision to try to change the name, equally for reasons of political opportunism and coat-trailing.
My own coat-trailing was totally ineffective, but the system of having an obvious road black, with 'cut-offs' behind and down side streets to catch those deliberately avoiding them proved useful.
It was an Abwehr tradition for each of its officers to recruit his own agents. British M.I.6, who were responsible for the planting, obviously failed to do their coat-trailing either in the right places or with the right Abwehr officers.
