Talk:enmanché

RFV discussion: May–September 2023
"Covered with a sleeve; said of the chief when lines are drawn from the middle of the upper edge to the sides." In French and two English cites, emmanché means "handled" / "hafted", from ety 2 of. The OED says French heralds also use it "of the field, denoting what Eng. heralds call barry-pily, [but] neither of these senses in recognized in England", where the definition is like our entry's, based on ety 1 of ... but the only use they or I can find of anything like that is a modification of the field (not, as our definition has it, the chief) they equate to "per fesse dancetté of two points": 1586, Ferne, ''Blaz. Gentrie I, page 199: "He beareth Emaunche [printed'' Emanuche] Arg. and Gewles." I searched for enmanché, emanché, manché, but all I could find were mentions and French uses. - -sche (discuss) 05:00, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
