What does MOLINE mean in Scrabble?
adjective
heraldry
In heraldry, having the ends of the arms split and curled back, as in a cross moline.
A cross moline is a heraldic cross whose four arms fork at the tip and curve back like the iron fitting that once held a millstone steady, which is where the name moline comes from. Because the shape looks distinctive on a shield, it appears often in the coats of arms of families and institutions with a history tied to milling. The term is used almost only in blazon, the formal language heralds use to describe a coat of arms.
