We could engrail the bend instead of a border.  If this looks goof then I

Engrailing was substantially more common in period, but it's harder to
draw than embattling.

There's also indented:

Again, more common in period than in the SCA.

Of course, turning it to a bend avoids I{dh}ris too, but it would hit
