"Gerefa" is a word in LAW AND LEGAL
In Saxon law. Greve, reve, or reeve; a ministerial oflicer of high antiq-ulty in England; answering to the grave or graf (grafio) of the early continental nations. The term was applied to various grades of officers, from the seitre-gerefa, shirc-grefe, or shire-rere, who had charge of the county, (and whose title aud office have been perpetuated in the modern “sheriff,”) down to the tun-gerefa, or town-reeve, and lower. Burrill
The uniform is that which we do not choose, that which is assigned to us; it is the certitude of the universal against the precariousness of the individual. When the values that were once so solid come under challenge and withdraw, heads bowed, he who cannot live without them (without fidelity, family, country, discipline, without love) buttons himself up in the universality of his uniform as if that uniform were the last shred of transcendence that could protect him against the cold of a future in which there will be nothing left to respect.
