Talk:bevile

RFV discussion: May–December 2023
Rfv-sense. The definition given is "(heraldry) A chief broken or opening like a carpenter's bevel." Most hits of "bevile" in relation to heraldry are about the family name Bevile and their heraldry. I can find a handful of hits of lowercase common-noun bevile in relation to heraldry, see Citations:bevile, but it is not immediately clear to me that they mean "a chief broken or opening" as opposed to "a bevel" / "alternative spelling of bevel". (bevilled I can find.) - -sche (discuss) 01:22, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * In particular, in the 1842 cite it seems to be an adjective, probably = bevilled, modifying a chief, whereas the Air Force cite seems to mean either a bevel or the sort of 'notch' representative of it. Defining bevile itself as a noun meaning "a chief broken open" seems unsupported. - -sche (discuss) 19:53, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
