“There are other topics, however, connected with the Collar of SS. which are of real interest to a {363} numerous section of the titled aristocracy in the United Kingdom; and it is with these, as bearing upon the heraldic and gentilitial rights of the subject, that I am desirous to grapple.”

“Beginning the sentence is the word iχ "thus", then there is the name Φelturie in the genitive case (compare the Etruscan name Velθur in TLE 38, 43, 92, 125, 126 and 129 and note the Etruscan gentilitial ending -ie), hil (cf. the Etruscan inscription CIE 3: hil puratum) and for the big kicker, a word probably declined in the genitive plural, klanturus (cf.”

SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOW TO MAKE A WEB LINK.
This is useful for people who want to link to lists but don't know how. Using the Brackets [ ] is for words, not lists. I've seen some people try to link lists this way, and it doesn't work.
This is done by making a simple HTML tag. The example is below.
<A HREF="blah">Linked text here</A>
Where "blah" is, you replace that with the URL. The URL is the exact web address. To get that, all you have to do is highlight the URL/Address at the top of your browser and then COPY-PASTE it into where the "blah" is. That's it! Enjoy! Dec 31, 2008
