About that "tirasse" --in Spanish, "tirar" means "to pull" (as long as you're not in Mexico, where it's "jalar" a lot of the time).

The so-called Romance languages all derived from Latin, so that fact that there are relationships is no surprise. They are Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, and some Romanian. If "tirasse" means "pull down", well, on mechanical organs that's exactly what they do --pull down the manual notes to the pedals. That's why the keys dutifully depress without being touched. The same could be said of the manual couplers on a mechanical.

Indeed dll. Try also the French "tirer" witch means to pull. Same thing.
You can translate tirasse as pulling.....

Please be careful, 'to pull' is translated 'tirer' into French.

'Tirasse' is something else - I'm sorry, I do not know the translation into English. Tirasse is referring to a coupler that allows to play a manual - great, choir, swell, etc... - from the pedalboard.

Actually, these languages are called "the Latin languages" in French ("les langues latines"), or sometimes the Greek-Latin languages, due to the importance of Greek roots that passed to the modern Meditarrenean langugages through Latin.
