For reasons that I mentioned in another note just now, I doubt that
either demi-sun is co-primary.

I don't understand this point at all.

- It's an Or charge (the book) with a per fess sable and Or field.  It
  cannot be placed touching the base half of the field -- it is forced
  towards the chief, so an arrangement CD for the book would be
  impossible, so far as I can see.

- A forced move is a move due to other changes to a design.
  The demi-sun being ruled by Laurel as primary or not has no effect
  on the position of the book, so the demi-sun is irrelevant to the
  forced move issue.  Only the divided field affects it here.
