Dear sir / madam;
This is mehari.At the outset I would like to appreciate for the extraordinary word list that you are feeding me . Next, I have forwarded you to tell me the meaning of the words below .
1. Canaille means rabble, something related to people of not noble class
2. Qui vie means wide awaken , alert , vigilant
3.Vexillology ; this is a word I have found in analogy of past GRE tests. I guess it has to do with flags of countries , may be the study of flag and their meaning
Hi Mehari, thanks for the compliment. But I see you have given the meanings of all the words yourself. I don’t understand what’s that you are expecting from us. And yes you are right Vexillology is the study of flags..
Wish you success!!
