> I was re-reading the book again, and came upon the Black's Family Motto.
"Toujours Pur". Then I was inspired to figure out what it means. Stupid as I
was, I first looked it up under a Latin Dictionary. Where that got nowhere,
I looked the words up under a French Dictionary. Here's what I found:
> OK, this one wasn't as easy as the last one. From what I conclude, "Pur"
in the Motto means "alone".
>
>  So the motto is "Forever Alone." Hmm... anyone have a theory?


I looked up "Toujours Pur" on the Babel Fish web translator and it came up
with "Forever Pure" which seems to make sense if you look at it in the sense
of blood - as in 'pureblood'.
