(?  If you didn't appreciate the comment, why think it funny?)
I guess you mean "I don't get it, but I suppose from context you
were making a joke"?  Yeah, I was just being mischevious and
misleading.

"Flags of the World" looks like a marvelously useful research site.

The legend goes that someone submitted that blazon circa 1970, all the
heralds sat around and nodded and said "nice and simple", but one
person looked up "cross gammadion", sketched the coat, and held it up
for the meeting, saying "Uh, guys?".  The legend says that on the spot
the College of Arms decided to require each submission to have an
emblazon (picture).

For folx who don't care to fire up the Web browser: a "cross gammadion
saltirewise" is also known as a "fylfot" ... or "hakenkreuz" ... or
"swastika" ...

Hey, you asked for primitive and Teutonic.
