In reply to:

and no less than eight patron saints of tertiaries

and by tertiaries-- you mean? I looked it up and i'm guessing the idea of filtering water. (froggies do like clean water)

I know the word tertiary as "third" (ordinal?) as"i live on a tertiary street for plowing, and while NY didn't get much snow in yesterdays storm, I was unable to make it to my door, since my street was not plowed when i got home at 7 PM." M-W 10th also talks about a tertiary order of Monks, and of manmals, and of rocks. and there at the very botton of the page has something about water filtation..
