This word is slightly archaic, and the meaning is a bit vague;
it has military connotations, and can mean "flag,"
"pennant" or "banner".

According to my analysis of Slovene legislation on state and
local flags,
the word "prapor" is used for ceremonial flags —
military or otherwise (fire-figters, scouts, even cities) usually made in a
single example, so "banner" or "colours" would be English
equivalent. Similar distinction between a flag and a banner (i.e.
"zastava" vs.
"prapor") is made by Valt
Jurečič in his designs (which, for the
communities usually do not include a "prapor" except
in a few cases).
