zastava
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).
