Curiously SENA doesn't address the issue of gores. 

The SCA Glossary has:
Peripheral Charge Group.
Gores and gussets are not peripheral charges (because they extend so far into the center of the field).

So if a gore isn't a peripheral ordinary, is it a central ordinary? 

[February 2011 LoAR, R-Trimaris]
Hala bint Yuhanna.  Device. Barry Or and sable, a gore argent. 
This device is returned for conflict with the arms of Gonzaga (important non-SCA arms), Barry Or and sable. There is a single CD for the addition of the gore, which is a secondary charge.


So the gore is not a peripheral charge but a secondary charge that extends far into the center of the field which is the definition of a central ordinary or central charge which is a primary charge group.

Wonder why the gore wasn't mentioned in SENA?
