1192.0. "Yale" by SWETSC::WESTERBACK (Panta rei) Mon May 12 1997 04:00

    What's a yale? My Webster's doesn't know it at all, my English-Swedish
    dictionary knows only about Yale locks. What I'm looking for is related
    to heraldry, I think. It was on an inscription in Kew Gardens, I don't
    remember exactly what, but something in the line of Griffin of Gloucester,
    Yale of Leicester etc.

    From the OED:
    
    A fabulous beast with horns and tusks, perhaps the two-horned
    rhinoceros (from Pliny's Natural History).
