Old French noun

This quote from The Song of Roland:

L’un port l’espee e l’altre l’olifant,

This can't mean "one carried the sword, the other (carried?) the elephant". Mglovesfun (talk) 10:24, 13 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Looked in the dictionary, he was carrying an ivory horn. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:29, 13 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
