Πλεονέκτημα: σύνδεση με το μοτίβο των θυρεών (εραλδική)

War-Cries A war-cry (French: cri d'armes, cri de guerre, cri) is what its name suggests, something that one (or one's followers) shouted as one threw oneself into the fray. Very often, the war-cry was simply the family name. I once heard that the pronunciation of the Scottish name Home was changed to Hume after disastrous results during a battle when the war-cry "Home! Home!" was shouted and soldiers all headed home. (Si non e vero...). In English heraldry, War-cries, like mottoes are unregulated, not necessarily part of the grant of arms, and liable to change at will. In Scottish heraldry, the motto is registered, and so is the war-cry or "slogan" (slogorn, which literally means war-cry in Gaelic) which is used by the chief of the clan only and appears above the crest (in which case the motto, if any, appears below the achievement instead of above as usual; see Innes of Learney, Scots Heraldry, p.39).

ΙΑΧΕΣ = WAR-CRIES

Στη συγκεκριμένη περίπτωση \"war-cries\" είναι μια συνήθεια, ένας θεσμός που εκφράζει απλώς ενθάρρυνση, παρότρυνση των αθλητών από τους οπαδούς τους. Δεν είναι κάτι το ασυμβίβαστο με το πνεύμα των Ολυμπιακών.

Εξάλλου, δεν είναι τυχαίο που ο Έλληνας συντάκτης του κειμένου επέλεξε το \"ιαχές\" και όχι τα \"φωνές\", \"(ζητω)κραυγές\", \"επευφημίες\". \"Ιαχή\" εκφράζει ακριβώς ό,τι και το \"war-cry\".

Βλ. παρακάτω \"war-cries\" & \"enthusiasm\", \"war-cries of approval\"

PERSPECTIVE McDowall Sports Day 2004 was a great success. On Monday, 9 August, students from 10 years upwards competed in the field events: High Jump, Long Jump, Shot Put and Discus. Students from Years 1 – 7 competed in the track events on Tuesday, 10 August. It was a wonderful spectacle with brightly coloured house t-shirts and lots of loud war cries. Thank you to all competitors who made the day a great success. Thank

As the finale, when the heart melting befeathered youngsters of the Ute Mt and Northern Ute Bands (the ladder removed to Utah 130 years ago), pulled off the tarp of “Wind Spirit,” by Judy Nordquist, the touching jubilant war cries of approval from Natives and Telluriders alike, folks said, “lifted Telluride’s Mountain Village.”
