ALL Ordinaries are suppos’d to be made of a strait Line; therefore when they are composed of a crooked one, you are to take particular Care to mention such Crookedness by a proper Appellation.
The following Scheme contains such Forms of Lines as are used in Heraldry, with their proper Names against them, viz.
Inveck’d | |
Ingrail’d’. | |
Wavy. | |
Nebule. | |
Crenelle. | |
Indented. | |
Dancette. |
The Lines Indented and Dancette do not differ in Form, but Quantity; the last being much larger and deeper than the other.
