Quote:"Lorica hamata" is just as accurate as "lorica plumata" (i.e. both are misleading).If you accept 'hamata' as meaning 'hooked' it makes sense if you think of mail rings as being physically hooked to each other and then closed off. I don't think it's that misleading IMHO, but it's all down to how you think of the assembly.
