I don't know how the echoed quote got out.  Sorry.

More than that: I've never seen alternating tinctures expressed that
way.  Some field divisions or other phrases take two or more following
tinctures, like "barry", "quarterly", "vairy", and such.  "Ermined" is
not one of those cases: one tincture specification before the word,
for the background, and one tincture after the word, for the tincture
of the ermine spots.
