1Editorial Note and Disclaimer and small print: Any resemblance to any person other then the editor having a "warped" sense of humor is purely coincidental - maybe. Any resemblance to any word in the above list to any real vexillological term is very unlikely, unrealistic and would be truly wierd. Persons who disagree with the interpretations of the contributors may be strict vexiherents of vexillological canonical vexilexicography.
