Usage notes

 * Originally, a cross cléché was one with ends which flared out like a cross patté before tapering back to a point like a cross urdé; Thomas Banaster, for example, bore a cross clechée sable, elsewhere blazoned a cross patty pointed sable, which was solid and not voided. However, the frequency with which many cléché crosses were also depicted voided, especially the Occitan cross of Toulouse (which is cléché, botony or pommetty, and voided), led to the term being taken by some writers to mean voided. Compare, which was subject to similar misinterpretation.
