It's a disk with the tri-snakes biohazard symbol (the one from the backs of the cards) on one side and three little nubs for "feet" on the other (possibly to make picking it up easier). -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

The name of this symbol is (in French...) "Triskčle", perhaps "triskelion" in italian. what is the correct translation ? Kindred SPIRIT

[ quoted text not captured ] In English, [IIRC] a triskelion is three bent legs emanating from a single point [eg the symbol of the Isle of Man]. i expect it is a term from Heraldry, and therefore originally Old French.

As far as I know, it's originally a Breton (Gaelic) word, which fits in with the Man angle of course - it's been a while, but they used to be a Gaelic-speaking island. Given the linguistics involved, I guess there's a Cornish equivalent as well, if someone can find someone who still speaks the language. Patrick

If it's cognate in Breton and Manx, it goes back to some form of proto- Celtic, most likely, which is, of course, related to Indo-European. (Breton and Manx being in separate "branches".) > Given the linguistics involved, I guess there's a >Cornish equivalent as well, if someone can find someone who still speaks the >language.
