Better not mention Euskera then! (Yet another officially recognised language in Spain since the generalissimo shuffled off this mortal coil, became an ex dictator)
The storing of hand baggage in the hold is common on eg AF regional flights even if it fits in the measurement cage. The pax gives it to ground staff at the a/c steps on boarding and retrieves it there on arrival. Not a problem for me as my normal condition whilst travelling by air is asleep. It's easy enough to remove a book or magazine etc before boarding if necessary.
TS, I plead your indulgence for para1 as I got back on topic in para2.
