Traxeren To wear or carry Explanation: Escudo is coat of arms. I think the very is to wear or carry. The phrase means something like this: "Except in the form and manner wore by those from where they come". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-01-20 11:58:01 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The "x" was there but was supplenated in Catilian Spanish by the "j". Xeres became jerez . The game of chess is still xadrez in Portuguese but in Spanish its Ajedrez. Mexicans don't like their country being called Mejico by Spaniards [ ::))]. And rightly so, since the Aztecs used 'x' a lot in their language. ! Viva Mexico! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-01-20 11:59:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- * Castillian* not Catilian * * Supplanted" and not supplenated* |
