Jansy Berndt de Souza Mello sent me an interesting analysis of
"triomphale." Indeed, it alludes to the themes of "3" and "foreseeing."
Thank you, Jansy!

Triomphale in French sounds to me as " three- navels" or three umbelical
connections or just as "navel button" or origin ( please, check the Greek
for omphalus ) I was also reminded that one of this omphalus is in Delphi,
where the famous pithon foresaw the future.

It is far-fetched. But... who knows? We can travel thru languages...
Best, Jansy
