Namaskar!

Generally, an augmentation is an additional charge that the sovereigns 
grant an individual to add to his or her device as a mark of honor, 
typically associated with the kingdom (for instance, taken from one of its 
badges.)  For example, His Excellency Galen of Bristol has on his device a 
mullet of five greater and five lesser points sable (the Black Star, if you 
will) as an augmentation (given by Their Excellencies Daffydd and Octavia 
during their reign.)

In the Society, it typically is dealt with as a non-armigerous award, which 
has the salutatory effect that it goes into the OP. :)  Their Graces 
received the 14th and 15th augmentations ever awarded in Ansteorra.

Just to be complete, you can reach Parker's definition of an augmentation at

Namaskar,
