- flot

— потоп, наводнение, поток, грязь ??? — фр. déluge; англ. flood

flot wave; by extension, the sea. The sea is often depicted in a naturalistic way in French heraldry. The drawing of waves and black lines (ombré, qv.) often makes it difficult to blazon in English. The stylised English form barry wavy argent and azure is not common. A similar problem arises with mer, onde and rivière (qqv). [FRENCHGLOSSAR]
