Greetings from Pagan unto Gwenllian,

Apologies, my lady, for failing to reply earlier:  at any given time in the 
past week or so either I've been away from sloth-node or my gateway has been 
down... (or both).

You asked about a readily available source for German terms:  I regret to say 
that I can offer none.  (If anyone can suggest something please let me know).  
Arval has kindly mentioned the linden-leaf line of partition and there seems 
also to have been discussion of nesselblatten -- these are SCA registerable.  
Could I have comments from heralds on one of my favorite German lines of 
partition (for which I do not, I fear, know the German blazon)?  It looks 
like a kiss-curl or (to me) an upside-down wave and koru (awfully PC where I 
live), and is drawn as number 83 on Plate IX (opp. p. 32) of the big Fox-
Davies (1976 reissue) which describes it thus: 

    83 is not an English form ... but a literal translation 
    of the German blazon of No. 83 would be "gules, a snail reversed 
    and issuant from the sinister"  (Fox-Davies, p. 62).

I like it, but I don't know whether it's period.  And besides, it doesn't 
match my name...

I sympathise with the plight of Podunkian heralds worldwide ]-), but 
unfortunately I can't offer much more than the suggestion of supplements to 
the Pic-Dic (what about a loose-leaf hole-punched format?).  I also don't 
think that the body of registerable armory should be limited to what's 
available to the most heraldically challenged.

Pagan le Chaunster
