I think it's a 16th-18 century slogan, seen on signs in pubs during the turbulant religious and political times in England. It meant to prohibit any talk of religion (cross) or of crown (politics), because they led to brawls. In Teonaht it's vo relik vo reik, no "relic, no crown." Since it often leads to bad feeling here as well, this might be our motto. :) On the other hand, I would hate to shut down talk of conculture religions. Many of our invented peoples have religions. Kerno speakers are I believe mostly Catholic, and the Teonim are largely Orthodox. Sally Caves scaves@frontiernet.net Eskkoat ol ai sendran, rohsan nuehra celyil takrem bomai nakuo.
