I have it down as a "wild bull" or "a wild animal with great strength." Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true double meaning. Ra is bad and em is mother. I suspect the secondary meaning is intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
