Æthelmearc Letter of Report Æ139
November 1, 2011 (AS 46)


Greetings from Fridrikr Garnet and Alheydis Cornelian,
We would very much like to thank those who commented on this month's letter!
The items accepted on this letter have been forwarded to Laurel for further consideration, where we expect they will be decided on in February 2012

1. Aemilia Leaena - New Name and Device Accepted
Argent, a willow tree eradicated proper between two roundels vert charged with two lions sejant erect respectant Or.

While I'm concerned about documenting the Grecian name being made into a Roman cognomen, I'm willing to take chance.

2. Ailletha de la Mere - New Name and Device Accepted
Per fess embattled gules and azure, three plates and in base a compass rose argent.

We note that the compass rose may be one SFPP.

3. Alrekr Bergsson - New Name Accepted
4. Amabe Genjirou Katsuharu - New Name and Device Accepted with revised blazon.
Sable, on a sexfoil Or a chrysanthemum sable.

The device was re-drawn to show a proper chrysanthemum. The blazon was corrected for the tincture of the sexfoil.

5. Antonius Hasebroek - New Device Change Accepted
Gules scaly Or.

6. Arianna dal Vallone - New Device Accepted with revised blazon
Sable, a raccoon passant guardant and on a chief embattled argent four roundels sable.

The blazon was corrected. We note that the raccoon is one SFPP.

7. Arías Beltran del Valle - New Device Accepted
Per chevron gules and vert, in chief three mullets Or.
8. Arnóra in illa - New Name and Device Accepted
Argent, a bat displayed between three roses gules.

11. Bera Jorundardóttir - New Badge Accepted
(Fieldless) A scorpion bendwise sable.
12. Cadan Buri - New Name Accepted
13. Caírech na h-Innsi - New Name Changed

Originally submitted as hInnsi, we have added the dash as in the documentation. We'll note the h-Innsi spelling and ask for lenition, if needed. Since the submitter allows changes, we should be fine.

14. Cathel de Hauthorn New Name and Device - Accepted
Per chevron gules and sable, on a chevron argent a roundel between a decrescent and an increscent sable, in base an owl displayed argent.
15. Didrik Schweickhardt vom Schwartzwald - New Name Changed and Device Accepted with revised blazon
Quarterly vert and gules, in saltire a pike Or and a shovel inverted argent.

Two points were raised:
1. The claim that the given name is a German variant based on a Swedish name in Gillespie.
2. The pronunciation would require the hard "(c)k" ending.

Given that the submitter allows minor changes, we are modifying the given name to the form found in Gillespie.

16. Dreye Andrivaux - New Name Accepted
17. Edana the Red - New Name and Device Change Accepted
Vert, a butterfly sable winged argent enflamed proper and on a chief embattled argent three roses gules.

23. Felicitas Winter - New Name and Device Accepted with revised blazon
Per chevron inverted sable and azure, in chief a Greek sphinx sejant maintaining an arrow inverted or.

The blazon was changed to place the sphinx IN CHIEF. As Silver Alce notes, this is clear of Juliana de Montaign of Huntington's device, registered in November of 2008 (via Northshield): Purpure, a Greek sphinx sejant Or, by change of tincture and an unforced change of position.

24. François Dupuis - New Name and Device Accepted with revised blazon
Per fess argent and azure, issuant from the line of division a ship contourny bendwise sinister sable.

The blazon was changed to reflect that more than half of the ship is visible.

42. Marek Viachedrago - New Name and Device Accepted

45. Nandi of Kings Crossing - New Name for Alternate Persona and Badge Accepted
Rajab Qilichlu Qari
(Fieldless) On an elephant's head caboshed Or tusked argent, a mogen David azure.

The alternate name and the badge were divided into two separate entries on the XLoI.
We have been unable to recreate the links cited on the Pennsic worksheet. However, we forward this in hopes that the learned CoA members will be able to help us.
I believe that the mogen David is accepted as a charge that, in essence, is not considered to be voided, just as a triquetra is not considered to be voided. Thus, this should not be subject to the precedent cited by Ary. We'll see what Laurel says.

Or, a chevron inverted azure, in base, two ravens addorsed sable.
