How many r*b*b's do we have?:

double chested rabab (pearshaped lute rubab)
long-necked rabab (spikefiddle rebab)

So:

• spikefiddle, to wit the ghijak wd en mb and the kemenche belong...
• short necked fiddle boat-shaped (appears similar to double chested ones and may these pre-evolution)
• long necked barbed lute (pearshaped lutes?!) kamanche, ravaj, read vina
• double chested lutes, herein the sarinda and sarangi families.
