some French speakers insist that
Un dromadaire n'est pas un chameau
and Spanish speakers agree:
Un dromedario no es un camello
-------is this a matter of 2 humps vs. 1 ?
Yes, the number of humps is the most visible difference. The dromedary
has one hump, while the standard camel (the Bactrian camel) has two.

chaise (a standard dining-style chair) and
fauteuil (an armchair with armrests).
