November 2001 ILoI
Magnus von Lubeck

1) Almaith ingen Chormaic (Trelac)
Appeal of Household Name House Golden Hunter.
It looks well armed and armored this time around.  Kingdom should support
it.

2) Díglach úa hAmalgaid (Steppes)
[Name] The first part of the name is right but the initial h is not needed
in the last name.  Monks put h in front of any name that began with a vowel.
  Amalgaid is already in the genitive form and the spelling in pre 1200
wouldn't show the lenition.  The name is pronounced roughly dil-ach o ali.
Gaelic is a strange beast.

3) Elin the Timid (Steppes)
[Name] We need OED documentation for Timid.  No documentation is given here
that the word is period.

4) Lucia Ariosto (Bryn Gwlad)
[Name] Lucia: De Felice, Nomi italieni, page 239 header Lucia gives it from
the saint in Syracuse and Latin Lucius.
Ariosto: De Felice, Nomi italieni, page 74 Ariosto lists this as a given
name and in the cognomen Ludovico Ariosto author of Orlando Furioso.  It
mentions it derives from the original location of a feudal family Ariosto di
Bologna.   I can't be sure of the entire translation right now but suspect
it can be used as a byname.

6) Ralf of Oak Lawn the Oxhandler (Bjornsborg)
If I could be sure what this looked like it might conflict: Eva van
Oudeachterkol October of 1986 (via the East): Vert, an elm leaf in bend
sinister environed of a cartouche voided argent.
for Embla Willsdottir

Fast Tracked Items
Did anyone check these?  Some should have been returned.

1) Alfred Huddlestone (Bryn Gwlad)
His name is registered as Josephus de Hudelesdun.  I guess this is a Name
Change and Resubmitted Device.  If it is an appeal of the name registered it
should be remembered he requested authenticity changes for a 12th-13th
century English name.  This would likely require payment for a change of
name.  If you prefer the name as it is on the form, please, please, do not
check the "change my name" boxes.  If this is an appeal I do not think we
should support it.

2) Caillín mac Eógan
[Name] The last name should rather be Eóghain because of the genitive case
in Gaelic.

4) Claire la Combe (Greywood)
[Device] Conflict with Tomas Pancaldo June of 2001 (via Drachenwald):
"Per bend azure and sable, a unicorn rampant, a bordure argent."

6) Feradach mac Congail mec Ruadri
[Name] As a two generation Gaelic name this should be meic Ruaidhrí for pre
1200 to match the rest of the name.  Check Quick and Easy Gaelic Names for
the construction.

7) Gunnvör silfrahárr (Bryn Gwlad)
[Change of name] for Gunnora.

9) Johann Gunnbjornsson (Wastelands)
[Device appeal]

11) Kouac Myklos (Loch Soilleir)
Starra Skraelingadottir August of 1989 (via Atlantia):
"Or, a tortoise tergiant palewise proper, shelled vert, between three
mullets of eight points azure."  I get only 1 CD for change in the number of
mullets.

12) Leona of Remington
[Badge] This should clear Charles Ravenstone August of 1995 (via the West):
"Per fess lozengy argent and sable and argent, a bird's leg a-la-quise
sable."
Fieldless gives one CD and the gules feet of the chough should give a CD.
However conflict with Arnolw Rabenhertz March of 1995 (via Drachenwald):
"(Fieldless) A raven's foot couped sable, armed and banded gules."
There is a CD for fieldless.  The raven's foot and the chough will be
identical since a Cornish chough leg proper will be sable, armed gules (red
feet).  Therefore these badges will be effectively identical.

13) Líadan Bregh
[Device] This may conflict with Erryk Blackwolf June of 1973: "Per bend
sinister sable and gules, a plate."  I don't think you get the second CD for
a plate vs 3/4 of a plate.

14) Medb ingen Domnaill uí Somhairle (Loch Soilleir)
[Device resubmission]

15) Melissent d’Aulnay (Namron)
[Device resubmission]

18) Vilhjálmr hausakljúfr (Raven's Fort)
