«Des roses à naître sont cachées sous les pans de mon manteau» Muhammad Iqbal

"pans" = "panse," i.e., "belly?" (The yet unborn roses are hidden under the belly of my coat?)

Belly (of the beast); portmanteau = large suitcase. Just add the word "port" and we get "large suitcase."

Leapin' logic! Sounds like the "GO" signal broadcast in France just before D-Day.

Unborn? Biologicals? Unborn roses? A type of skin pox?

You may be onto something here:

We know there will be female suicide bombers, we know they have been having babies here...so why not 'fake' a pregnancy but have yourself really packed with explosives and 'not' a baby?
