I'm confused. If I call it a chief triangular enarched does it work?

Interesting, since I was thinking that *I* would have called such a

not 
'triangular ploye'.

[A chief triangular embattled] With very rare exceptions (e.g. in
combination with enarched lines), the use of two or more complex lines
on the same charge is confusing, and unattested in period armory.
