[ANSTHRLD] Name Stoppfflin der Tr{u:}we, device tower + leaves

[Bob Wade]

To make sure we're talking about the same thing, the link is to a recent registration with inverted linden leaves

Not sure why the submiiter wants the leaves inverted, but it doesn't seem needed to clear any conflict.

Unfortunately, the non-ASCII character got garbled when I was viewing
it in my unusual setup.  Personally, I use "Da'ud notation" for
accented characters just for full portability.

SQUEEE!  *thud*

"Barry" was used way more in period that in the SCA, so seeing someone
wanting it just makes me collapse in joy and emit an uncontrollable
SQUEEEE!

*thud*

And if a coat used two colors, at least in Anglo-Norman Heraldry,
one of them tended to be gules.

I'm afraid I can't find "lindis leaves"; maybe "linden leaves"?

If you want something that is just screamingly GERMAN!!!, you might
consider

     Barry sable and Or, in pall three linden leaves gules.

though I've not conflict-checked it.
