WHAT DOES FYLFOT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Fylfot

Fylfot or fylfot cross (/ˈfɪlfɒt/ (fil-fot), is a synonym for swastika, sometimes used in Britain. However – at least in modern heraldry texts, such as Friar and Woodcock & Robinson (see below) – the fylfot differs somewhat from the archetypal form of the swastika: always upright and typically with truncated limbs, as shown in the figure at right.
