[ANSTHRLD] Definitions of ....

[Deborah Sweet]

What are the following heraldic items?

Quaver

Mistral

Chamfron

Stocks

Zule

And would a death's head be included in a beastiary?

A monk's hood?

And should I make note of any spelling errors I discover in the O&A and 
send them to someone?


Just as a teaser, from 2005-1995 there are 519 individual entries of 
beasts, monsters, humans, (& body parts of each of them) of Ansteorran 
devices/badges.  Starts with alligators- two and goes to zebra.

That's from a total of 493 devices/badges with at least one beastiary 
charge, with 26 of them having two different beastiary charges.

The top 7 are:
25 - dragon
21 - lion
16 - eagle
12 - horse
12 - wolf
11 - dolphin
11 - griffin

Side-question: Should items that come from beast/monsters, such as 
feather(s), hide(s), or fleece(s) be included. Pawprints already are. 
Currently I'm basing the beastiary definitions off of the West Kingdom's 
Heraldic Template pages. I'm open for discussion on this.
