Thank you all for your participation and the correct translation, I do understand why Alan wants to stay out of this discussion.
The way I am looking at it presently is that the cross have a certain talismanic value by a part of the community. This answers the why, however this leave yet more questions as an example.
Who was or is that part of the community, was it a certain educational background, was it people connected to the royalty, was it something that was added to enhance the perceived value, or something entirely different?
When in time was this done, is it still done?
Where was this procedure most prevelent, is it mostly done in Solo?
What is the connection that will bring all this information together?
Maybe there is a connection to PB X
Sorry, lots of questions yet to be answered. everyone please join in.
