Quick Notes on ILOI # 119

1. Angellino the bookmaker.

I don't believe that the citation from Juliana de Luna truly supports the doubled -ll-.  If it cited a name with "ange-" followed by the doubled -ll- I'd be more inclined to give it credence.  However, "Angnellus" is different, due to the extra syllable.

Aryanhwy's citation is more pertinent.

"the boomaker" - double meaning intended or not, I find it obtrusivly modern, unless  there is a citation supporting gambling as a profession.  Othewise, I cannot support this and would return it.

3. Bjorn Vestarson

The device is clear of Selva of the Treeless Plain:   Vert, semé of tree stumps snagged eradicated proper, in saltire two axes Or.

There is one for the removal of the field treatment & one for the addition of the chief.

6. Esa Baird

Close but clear of: Megge de Northwode:  Azure, three owls within a bordure argent.

One for removing the bordure and one for the field treatment.

8. Vulcan's Forge.

All I have is that "forge" is a period English word, dating from the 15th c., from the
OF forge, which in turn is from the Latin fabrica.  This from the Concise OED.

I'm not all that certain about the formation as a College name or Shire name. However, I'd think that we can justify the name in a formation like an Inn name.

In service,
