Description:
The word 'pantera' comes from the Spanish word 'bandera' and means 'flag' or 'banner' specifically in the sense of the symbol of a political division or company. It entered the language during the middle period. It can also refer to crests, seals and other symbols. It would not be used to refer to a flag used for non-symbolic purpose, such as to mark the location of a hole in golf.
Pantera has limited utility as a verb. It may be used as a transitive skurun verb menaing 'to plant a flag' or 'to apply a designation' to a particular state, organization, etc., with the party doing the planting as rhe ergative subject and the thing being flagged as the absolutive object. The owner of the flag or symbol may be specified as a prepositional argument with the preposition 'y' (null).
