A Middle English spelling of what Modern English has as "flower",
according to the documentation that was put forward on the Ansteorran
Letter of Intent [to register at Laurel].  Middle English Dictionary
at

(I do like "(c) the emblem of one of two parties among the devotees of
courtly love (opposed by the party of the Leaf); lef or ~, etc;")

(Given the purpose of the award, I think it likely that Flur is
intended to refer to a flower.  However, in general the documentation
on a LoI does not necessarily match the meaning that the submitter
is thinking about.)
