Dans son origine celte et païenne, la croix celtique est un anneau dans laquelle s'inscrit une croix dont les branches font toutes la même longueur et dépassent toujours de ce même anneau. [...] L'apport du christianisme a eu un impact et a modifié l'aspect visuel de la croix celtique. La jambe inférieure [...] de la croix celtique originelle est rallongée, ce qui lui donne l'aspect d'une combinaison entre la croix celtique originelle et la croix latine du christianisme. 3, record 1, French, - croix%20celtique

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 OBS
There are many ways of rendering the concept of "profilé" in English. If the width of the profile changes from one spot on the racquet to another, then the term "beam" is preferred, e. g. tapered beam design for the all round game. If one wants to specify that the beam is narrow, regular or conventional(i. e. not a wide-body), the term "frame", as in "narrow frame" or "conventional-width frame" is preferred. When one speaks of a "conventional frame", one implies that the profile or beam is constant, straight and narrow. Related terms :shaft, frame cross section. 1, record 6, English, - frame%20profile
