I grow increasingly uncertain of what I think I'm understanding when I
read.
Quoted from: http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/reaneyAG.html
><given name> <byname, lenited> ingen <as above>
>The parent's name must appear in the genitive case - because it
>is in a genitive relationship to "ingen" - and is lenited - because
it
>modifies a feminine noun: ingen. Bynames used after a feminine given
>name will also be lenited for this reason.
This preceded a list of common bynames, so I understood it to indicate
that I should pick a given name, a byname, and if I use "ingen," my
father's name. I do keep hearing that bynames were not common at the
time (1530's). Which is correct?
Meanwhile, I still have no grasp of "lenited," how's and when's of
use, or correct pronunciation. Beginning to feel a bit boggled, but I
thank you all for your suggestions.
