Latin term or phrase: cuos homme or cuos homme stra(w)
I do not know where it comes from.
Sharon Patricia Burtner
What man?
Explanation:
'Cuos homme' appears to be some form of Old French. I've no idea what 'stra(w)' could mean, but 'homme' would mean 'man' and 'cuos' seems to be some form of interrogative pronoun derived from Latin 'quis', meaning 'what, who?' 'Cuos homme' would then. according to this interpretation, mean 'What man?'

It is definitely not Latin of any period.
