Symbolism is very present in these arms, and a number of factors, some more obvious, some etymological make these canting arms:
1) voet means "foot" in Dutch: foot plant
2) dividere means dividing in Latin: shield is divided in the middle
3) die means "day" in Latin, the shield is divided between day and night (argent and sable). In the upper left in red is the morning star (Phosphorus, Stella Diei – Venus) and upper right is Hesperus, the evening star (also Venus). The crescent is also split between night and day, this crescent moon (Diana or Selene), in ancient iconography is often represented as accompanying the stars Phosphoros and Hesperus, as in this coat of arms. (See: Star and crescent)
4) a dividiculum means a castle (tower) placed on a division/separation of land, often this means a ford (see etymology of the name below)
5) the city of Metz in France is called Divodurum in Latin and its arms are blazoned: party per pale argent and sable, the same base as these.
