named Scilicet (Latin for "of course")

[edit]

...what is this phrase, where does it come from, and what does it have to do with Paris or Heraldry? I was able to find no answer of any kind to the latter two questions. If someone can better explain/inform this then by all means, put it back. THEPROMENADER 11:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Rough Sea"

[edit]

There is no indication in the blazon that the sea is "rough." The blazon controls, not the particular emblazonment. --Daniel C. Boyer 13:01, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Nec"

[edit]

Nec is not a contraction of "et non", but "necque". See this reference http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Latin/Lesson_4-Adverbs_and_Prepositions —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.33.102.148 (talk) 19:54, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
