The community's arms might be described thus: Party per bend sinister wavy, the parting surmounted by a bend sinister wavy argent, azure a coney courant of the first in bend sinister, gules a demi-wheel spoked of six of the first couped in bend sinister. The community of Kahl lies on a bend in the river Main, and this is referenced by the bend sinister wavy (slanted wavy stripe) in the arms. This also refers to the river Kahl, which is part of the community's name. The tinctures argent and gules (silver and red) and the half-wheel refer to Electoral Mainz's former overlordship in the community. The silver hare recalls the Kahl dwellers’ nickname Sandhasen (“Sand Hares”) – sometimes also Sandbauern (“Sand Farmers”) – arising from the community's lower crop yields than in other Main communities due to the sandy soil.

On the other side of the bend sinister wavy is an ear of grain representing agriculture, and the field tincture on this side, sable (black), recalls the coalmining that was once common in Breitenbach.

The illegitimate children of the Monarchs also bear the arms of Portugal, but defaced with special marks of distinction. These marks varied accordingly with the old Portuguese usages of classifying illegitimate children either as natural children when both parents were not married, as bastards when just one of the parents was married, as adulterine when both parents were married but not to each other, as incestuous when the parents were close relatives or as sacrilegious when one or both parents had taken religious vows. The corresponding defacing marks would be a bend dexter for natural children, a baton sinister for bastards, a bend sinister azur for adulterine, a bend sinister vert for incestuous and a bend sinister gules for sacrilegious children.

This would have been pronounced slightly differently from the current name, with the first vowel a bit higher, more an [eː] than the current [ɛː].

The municipality’s arms might be described thus: Azure a lion rampant barry of nine gules and argent armed and langued gules and crowned Or, in his gambe dexter a sword of the fourth held in bend sinister, in base argent a pot of the first with the inscription ST. VITUS, issuant from beneath which flames of fire of the second.

The German blazon reads: In Gold ein doppelreihig rot-silbern geschachtelter Schräglinksbalken. Oben ein wachsender, herschauender, blau gekrönter Löwe. Unten ein roter Busch. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Or a bend sinister countercompony argent and gules issuant from which a lion rampant guardant of the third crowned azure, and below which a bush of the third.

"Dexter" (Latin for "right") means to the right from the viewpoint of the bearer of the shield, i.e. the bearer's proper right, to the left from that of the viewer. "Sinister" (Latin for "left") means to the left from the viewpoint of the bearer, the bearer's proper left, to the right from that of the viewer. Argent a bend sinister gules.

The German blazon reads: Im goldenen Schild, durch blauen Schräglinksbalken geteilt, oben eine schwarze, dreitürmige Kirche, unten ein grünes Rad mit Lindenblattspeichen. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Or a bend sinister wavy azure, in dexter chief a church with three towers each with a conical roof sable and in base sinister a wheel spoked of eight, the spokes in the shape of lime leaves pointing away from the hub vert. The church, a striking building with three towers, is a local landmark. The bend sinister wavy azure (that is, the slanted wavy stripe) is a canting charge meant to refer to the placename ending —bach, German for “brook” (Boden—, on the other hand, means “ground” or “bottom” – it is cognate with the latter – but there is no charge suggesting this part of the name).

The community’s arms might be described thus: Sable a sword per bend sinister the point to chief and flammant argent, the whole surmounted by a cross chequy of two Or and gules, in chief dexter a wheel spoked of six of the second, in base sinister an oakleaf per bend sinister acorned of one of the second. The chequered cross is drawn from the arms once borne by the Counts of Ingelheim, who succeeded the Echter von Mespelbrunn family as feudal lords when the latter died out in 1665. The Wheel of Mainz refers to the Archbishopric of Mainz, which was also once an overlord. The flaming sword is one of Saint Michael’s attributes, and it is to him that the church in Hausen is consecrated. The oakleaf and the acorn stand for Hausen’s geographical location in the Spessart (range).

Racing colours of Viscount Portman, as his coat of arms Or, a fleur-de-lys azure Designs in racing colours may be compared to simple heraldic designs incorporating "heraldic ordinaries", for example the bend, chevron, fess, etc., which appear in racing colours in the form of stripes, braces, hoops, etc.Merchant Other heraldic designs are reflected in racing colours as follows: bend sinister (sash); saltire (cross belts); chequy (check); roundels (spots); mullets (stars); per pale (halved); quarterly (quartered); per saltire (diabolo); lozenges (diamonds);Merchant paly (striped); barry (hooped); fess dancetty (chevron hoop). The design was at first shown only on the front of the jockey's coat, but must now be shown on the back also, which interferes with some heraldic comparisons, for example the sash as it appears on the front, in heraldry a "bend-sinister", when worn on the back as a mirror-image becomes a mere heraldic "bend" (i.e.

The German blazon reads: In silbernem Schild ein schräglinker, roter Balken, belegt mit 3 goldenen Mispelblüten mit blauen Butzen, oben begleitet von einem roten Ring, unten von einer roten Lilie. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent a bend sinister gules charged with three cinquefoils Or pierced azure, the whole between an annulet and a fleur-de-lis, both of the second. Both Walsdorf and the formerly separate centre of Zilsdorf lay under the Imperially immediate ownership of the Dukes of Arenberg in the Middle Ages. They bore three cinquefoils (this device is so-called in English heraldry,Parker on cinquefoils but the German blazon describes them as Mispelblüten, German for common medlar blossoms) in the same tinctures in which they appear in Walsdorf's arms (and the field in their arms was of the same tincture as the bend sinister in Walsdorf's arms).

Another offer is made to Krug to free 24 opponents of Ekwilism, including many of his friends, in exchange for doing so. Krug refuses and begins to charge at Paduk and is killed by a pair of bullets from the dictator's henchmen. At this point, Nabokov feels such pity for Krug that he actually intervenes and emphasizes that Bend Sinister was, thankfully, a fictional story and that Adam Krug never existed.

The German blazon reads: Durch einen schräglinken silbernen Wellenbalken von Rot und Grün geteilt. Oben ein durchbrochenes rundbogiges, durch drei gestaffelte, nasenbesetzte Spitzbögen unterteiltes goldenes Fenster. Unten drei goldene Ähren. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: A bend sinister wavy argent between gules a window with three staggered lancet arches joined by a semicircular arch Or, and vert three ears of wheat of the third.

The wavy bend sinister in the community's arms stands for its location on the Große Nister. The black eagle in gold – the Imperial eagle – symbolizes today's rural area of Forstwiese, which was once an Imperial forest. The waterwheel stands for the two former mills at Neustadt, which did grinding for the Neustadt-Hellenhahn-Schellenberg milling region. The tinctures gold and blue are Nassau's (golden lion in blue) and refer to the community's former territorial allegiance.
|
|
The community’s name is symbolized in the arms by the two antlers. Standing above, for the hereditary mill is the golden, eight-spoked waterwheel in blue. The silver bend sinister wavy symbolizes the Stelzenbach. The tinctures blue and gold stand for the former territorial allegiance to the Duchy of Nassau. The church is symbolized by the old neat flèche as a small belltower with black “sound windows” below in a red field.

The full-sized bend sinister was seldom used in this way, and more recent examples also exist of bends sinister that have no connection with illegitimacy, such as in the arms of the Burne-Jones baronets. These markings were never subject to strict rules, and the customary English use of the bend, bendlet, and baton sinister to denote illegitimacy in this way eventually gave way to the use of different kinds of bordures.

The German blazon reads: Von Blau und Silber schräglinks geteilt, oben eine schrägliegende silberne Krümme, beseitet von zwei sich kreuzenden ebenfalls schrägliegenden silbernen Buchenzweigen, unten ein dreiblättriges grünes Kleeblatt. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister azure the head of a bishop's staff bendwise sinister flanked by two beech twigs bendwise sinister, one surmounting the other below the staff, all argent, and argent a cloverleaf palewise slipped vert.

Count Gustav's wife was Countess Anna Sofia of Wied-Runkel. The Vasaborg coat of arms depicted a sheaf of hay, representing the arms of Vasa, crossed by a diagonal bend sinister, indicating Gustav's illegitimate origins. The family of Vasaborg lived mostly in the new Swedish possessions of Lower Saxony, where they received several estates. Their seat was at Wildeshausen, which was received by the first Count after the Peace of Westphalia in 1648.

Bend Sinister was the third and last Fall album to be produced by John Leckie. When recording began, the band was without a drummer, as Karl Burns was fired shortly before sessions began. Ex-member Paul Hanley stepped in at first before permanent replacement Simon Wolstencroft was found. However, Leckie and Mark E. Smith argued during the recording, with Smith complaining that "he'd always swamp everything, y'know, put the psychedelic sounds over it".

Bend Sinister was ranked number 7 among the "Albums of the Year" for 1986 by NME. In his retrospective review, Ned Raggett of AllMusic described it as a "distinctly down affair", while Trouser Press called it "a rather gloomy, dark-sounding record". Al Spicer, in The Rough Guide to Rock, called the album "not a great album by Fall standards". Neither Smith nor Leckie spoke highly of the album in later years.

"From the beginning of the 14th century, the two crossed keys constitute the arms of the papacy. The field of the shield is generally gules (red) and the cord is azure (blue). Most often the key placed in bend is gold and the one placed in bend sinister is silver; sometimes they are both gold, or, less often, silver" (Michel Pastoureau, "Keys" in Philippe Levillain, The Papacy: An Encyclopedia (Routledge 2002 ), vol. 2, p. 891).

The town's civic coat of arms has been known since 1570, when it was displayed at the Schloss Rotenburg (a stately home in Rotenburg an der Fulda, built by Landgrave Ludwig II in 1540). It was also published in the Hessisches Wappenbuch ("Hessian Arms Book") by Wilhelm Wessel in 1633. alt=Felsberg coat of arms. Heraldically, the arms might be described thus: Party per pale gules and argent, thereover a bend sinister vert, therein three trefoils argent.

Since 1984, the community has borne its own arms. They might heraldically be described thus: Party per bend wavy sinister, argent an oakleaf and twig vert, vert a sword Or per bend sinister. The wavy parting is meant to stand for the Holbach, a brook that runs through the municipal area. The oakleaf stands for the Bildches Eich, a memorial consecrated to Mary and a village landmark. The golden sword symbolizes community patron Saint Sebastian’s martyrdom.

The municipality's arms might be described thus: Per fess argent issuant from the line of partition a demilion azure armed and langued gules, and vert a bend sinister wavy abased issuant from which two bulrushes Or. The charge in the upper field, the lion, is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the County of Veldenz. The charges in the lower field are canting for the village's name, Rohrbach, which roughly translated means “Bulrush Brook”.

For example, see page six of the December 1, 2006 edition of the Technique (PDF). The ANAK Society has adopted a number of symbols over the years, although it has never offered any official explanation as to their meaning. From its founding in 1908 to 1927, the society identified itself only by the name Anak or Anak Society. In 1928 and 1929, the society adopted a bend sinister gules, a type of diagonal red line borrowed from heraldry.

The community's arms might be described thus: Argent a bend sinister wavy azure surmounted by a sword in bend of the second, in base a mount of three gules surmounted by a wheel spoked of six of the first. The sword stands for the local parish church's patron, who is John the Baptist – the church itself is called Johannes Enthauptung, or “John’s Beheading”, the sword being the instrument of this deed. The reference to John also recalls the community's name: Johannes is a German form of the name John. For centuries the community was part of the Electorate of Mainz, symbolized in the arms by the Wheel of Mainz. The three- knolled hill, called a Dreiberg in German heraldry, refers to the community's geographical location in the Vorspessart, and also to the three constituent communities of Johannesberg, Breunsberg and Sternberg, which all end in —berg (German for “mountain”), whereas the wavy bend sinister (slanted stripe), which is meant to resemble a brook, refers to the three constituent communities of Oberafferbach, Steinbach and Rückersbach, which all end in —bach (German for “brook”).

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale sable a lion rampant sinister Or armed, langued and crowned gules and Or a bend sinister wavy, the top abased and the bottom enhanced, between a church, the tower to sinister, and a hammer and sledge per saltire, all azure. In 1979, municipal council decided to introduce a municipal coat of arms. The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side refers to Neuerkirch's former allegiance to the Duchy of Zweibrücken (at least in the case of the Neuerkirch “on that side”, which was part of the Amt of Kastellaun). The “bend sinister wavy” (wavy slanted stripe) stands for the Külzbach, the local brook that once marked the boundary between the two Neuerkirchs, the one “on this side” and the one “on that side”. The church is a canting charge, referring to the last syllable in the municipality's name (“church” in German is Kirche, but this often appears without the last vowel in placenames).

The oakleaves and acorn in the chief symbolize the community's location in the High Spessart. Below the wavy bar on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side, the red and gold bars are taken from the arms formerly borne by the Counts of Rieneck. Krausenbach was for a long time one of their holdings. The bend sinister on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side with the rings is taken from the arms formerly borne by the family Echter von Mespelbrunn.

More generally, by ancient tradition, the guest of greatest honour at a banquet sits at the right hand of the host. The Bible is replete with passages referring to being at the "right hand" of God. Sinister is used to mark that an ordinary or other charge is turned to the heraldic left of the shield. A bend sinister is a bend which runs from the bearer's top left to bottom right, as opposed to top right to bottom left.

The shape of shield is unchanged, but the look is completely different. The field is dark blue, with a bend sinister in chief. The main charge is a stylized FCE, that includes representation of the North Saskatchewan River, and the letters double for the club's name and main beliefs, family, courage and energy. The FCE is ensigned by the words FC Edmonton, and 2010 for the year the club was founded, with a single rabbit's foot print in the base between the 20 and 10.

Gerach’s arms might heraldically be described thus: Party per pale sable and argent, sable a cock sinister Or, argent a bend sinister wavy gules above which a mullet gules. The municipal arms recall the noble family of Rotenhan (which means “Red Cock” rather than the golden one seen in the arms), the village’s owners from the 15th to 18th century. At the same time, the cock is also Saint Vitus’s faunal emblem, and it is to him that the local Catholic church is consecrated.

A few months prior to this tour, Hal decided to go back to school, and was replaced by Kevin Keegan from A Javelin Reign and Bend Sinister. The Gorgeous recorded one last demo to be used as promo for their upcoming album, and the four new songs are as of now on a fake Myspace page, under the name Jubilations. They toured with the Cancer Bats in 2007 on their last tour. On March 7, 2007 on their MySpace page, the band announced they were breaking up.

The municipality's arms might be described thus: Per bend sinister Or a lion rampant sinister gules armed and langued azure and azure a village well with a trough, to sinister chief a bend wavy enhanced, all of the first. The red lion charge is drawn from the arms formerly borne by the Waldgraves, under whose lordship Unterjeckenbach once lay. The wavy bend (diagonal stripe) refers to the Jeckenbach, the brook that flows by the village. The well refers to one that is still preserved in the village.

|
The municipality's arms might be described thus: Argent, in base a mount of three issuant therefrom a grapevine vert, bearing each side a bunch of grapes azure, and on each of three upper stalks a cross bottonnée gules, the dexter in bend, the middle in pale and the sinister in bend sinister. These arms are based on the municipality's third seal, from 1714. The vine is the Vine of Christ (John 15:1). Earlier seals had shown only the vine, a symbol for the area's widespread winegrowing.

Gingen an der Fils's coat of arms displays a field of white crossed by a bend sinister, in blue, with a red in the top left corner of the blazon. This pattern was devised and adopted for use by the municipal council in 1922 and refers to the river Fils and to a local church where, supposedly, the oldest surviving written document in Germany was written. The Federal Ministry of the Interior approved the coat of arms and issued a corresponding municipal flag on 5 December 1958.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale Or a bend gules and azure a bend sinister wavy abased argent issuant from which two reeds each leafed of three and fructed of the first. The composition on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side is the arms formerly borne by the Margraviate of Baden, a former landholder in Rohrbach. The composition on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is canting for the municipality's name, “Rohrbach”, which literally means “Reedbrook”.

Charles FitzRoy: The royal arms of King Charles II overall a bend sinister ermine Duke of Southampton was a title in the Peerage of England. It was created in 1675 for Charles FitzRoy, an illegitimate son of King Charles II by his mistress, the 1st Duchess of Cleveland. Together with the dukedom, Charles Fitzroy also received the subsidiary titles of Earl of Chichester and Baron Newbury. Upon his mother's death in 1709, the 1st Duke of Southampton succeeded to her hereditary peerages (the dukedom of Cleveland, earldom of Southampton and barony of Nonsuch).

In the constituent community of Grube Anna, there was brown coal pit mining until 1924. The mining charges in the community's coat of arms, inverted and per saltire in silver a red hammer and sledge, stand for Grube Anna. The three constituent communities are also symbolized by the three bends and three golden orbs. The Elbbach, which flows through the municipal area from north to south, on which the community is built and which is Elben's namesake, is shown in the arms as wavy bendlets inside the bend sinister.

The college's institutional coat of arms was created by the heraldic designer James-Charles Noonan, and is blazoned as follows: > Azure, between three fleur de lys, one in bend in the dexter chief point, > one in bend sinister in the sinister chief point, one in pale in center base > point or, on a nimbus set around the rim with three equidistant bosses or, > the dove of the Holy Spirit descending argent flammant proper. The crest is blazoned as: > On a torse of the colors argent and azure a lamp of learning or, its flames > proper.

The community’s arms might be described thus: Per fess gules a wheel spoked of six argent, Or in base a mount of three vert issuant therefrom three morningstars sable, the dexter in bend, the middle in pale and the sinister in bend sinister. The arms were designed sometime about 1950. After the Counts of Rieneck died out in 1559, Schöllkrippen passed to the Archbishopric of Mainz, with which it stayed from 1670 to 1803. As early as 1670, the Bishops of Mainz held great parts of the area around Schöllkrippen.

|
The municipality's arms might be described thus: Per bend sinister argent issuant from the line of partition an abbot's staff palewise gules and sable a lion's head erased Or langued and crowned of the second. The municipality of Roth had its first documentary mention in a document from Rupertsberg Abbey near Bingen from the year 1187. This abbey later received harvests and other holdings in and near Roth. The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side, the abbot's staff, is thus a reference to this abbey, which was led by an abbess.

In Bend Sinister Krug comments on his perception of the word "loyalty" as being like a golden fork lying out in the sun. In The Defense, Nabokov mentioned briefly how the main character's father, a writer, found he was unable to complete a novel that he planned to write, becoming lost in the fabricated storyline by "starting with colors". Many other subtle references are made in Nabokov's writing that can be traced back to his synesthesia. Many of his characters have a distinct "sensory appetite" reminiscent of synesthesia.

Simon Bar Sinister is a mad scientist. He is the wickedest man in the world and has an assistant named Cad Lackey. A "bend sinister", sometimes, inaccurately, called a "bar sinister", is a diagonal line in heraldry that can indicate that the bearer is a bastard by birth.

The municipality's arms might be described thus: Argent six grapeleaves conjoined at the fess point in pale, bend and bend sinister, all vert, growing on which three bunches of grapes azure. The motif displayed in the charges, of course, symbolizes Westhofen's most important industry, winegrowing. Similar compositions can be seen in municipal seals dating back to the 15th century, although a coat of arms appearing in the Kaffee HAG albums in the 1920s shows a somewhat different composition, although it is the same motif. That showed a full vine, not only leaves, and a small, fourth bunch with only three grapes.

The German blazon reads: Von Blau und Schwarz durch einen silbernen von links verlaufenden Wellenbalken geteilt. Oben ein goldener zunehmender Mond unter einer schwebenden goldenen Brücke, unten ein rotbezungter goldener Löwe. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: A bend sinister wavy argent between azure in chief a bridge arched of three humetty and in dexter a moon increscent, both Or, and sable issuant from sinister base a demilion of the third armed and langued gules. Before Hachenbach and Niedereisenbach were merged into the single municipality of Glanbrücken, each had its own coat of arms.

The municipality's arms might be described thus: Per bend sinister Or a lion rampant sinister gules armed and langued azure and azure a handpump-well argent. The lion charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side is an heraldic device formerly borne by the village's mediaeval lords, the Waldgraves. The charge on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side, the handpump-well, is a canting element and refers to the latter syllable in the village's name, —born, which, although historically referring to a spring, can also refer to a well (the more usual form is Brunnen). This is, nevertheless, a false assumption.

The German blazon reads: Von gold und rot durch gesenkten, schräglinken, blauen Wellenbalken und silberen Wellenleistenstab geteilt, der Wellenbalken mit sieben vierendigen goldenen Sternen belegt. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: A bend sinister wavy abased azure charged with seven mullets of four Or and conjoined by a bendlet sinister wavy argent, the whole between Or and gules. The Stadtkyll Castle was most likely built by the Lords of Blankenheim. In 1469, the County of Blankenheim, and thereby also Stadtkyll, found itself in the ownership of the Counts of Manderscheid, whose armorial tinctures.

The German blazon reads: Der Schild ist von links oben nach rechts unten geteilt. In der rechten oberen Hälfte oben in Silber ein roter Drache, in der linken unteren Hälfte 9 mal in Silber und Blau quer geteiltes Feld. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister, argent a dragon rampant sans forelegs wings displayed gules, and barry of ten argent and azure. The numbers referring to the sinister (armsbearer’s left, viewer’s right) side ("9" and "ten") do not match because English heraldry counts the number of bars, whereas German heraldry counts the number of divisions.

The community's arms might be described thus: In chief above a bar wavy argent enhanced, gules an acorn in pale surmounted by two oakleaves in saltire of the first, the base party per pale, dexter barry of eight gules and Or, sinister azure a bend sinister argent surmounted by three rings azure. Dammbach is a very new community, having arisen only in 1976 out of the formerly self-administering communities of Wintersbach and Krausenbach through voluntary merger. Geographically it lies on the Dammbach, whence its name comes. This brook has as a reference to it the wavy bar in the community's arms.

Nabokov, who was teaching at Wellesley College at the time, first began writing Bend Sinister in 1942 while the greater part was composed in the winter and spring of 1945-1946, soon after the completion of World War II. The novel's title was quite volatile, as Nabokov originally titled it The Person from Porlock before soon electing for Game is Gunm. It would undergo further changes, to Solus Rex, before finally settling on the current name. The manuscript was sent to Allen Tate, an editor at Henry Holt, in the early summer of 1947 and published shortly after, on June 12, 1947.

The arms of Campbell, won following the achievements of the Duke of Argyll, chief of the clan (Mac Cailein mor), used gyronny of eight Or and Sable as their variation of the field. All Campbell arms use the gyronny, which is one of the sub-ordinaries produced by dividing the shield per pale per fess, per bend and per bend sinister into eight triangular portions. The Campbells of Auchinbreck are differenced by the addition of a bordure, and are gyronny of eight Or and Sable a bordure chequy Ermine and Vert. The crest is a dexter hand Proper, holding a spur Or.

The German blazon reads: Durch Wellenschnitt schräglinks geteilt, oben in Gold ein wachsender Roter Löwe, unten in Rot ein weißes Gemerke in Form eines Schaftes mit Hinterer Oberkopfstrebe, alle mit kreisförmigen Enden. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister wavy, Or a demilion gules armed and langued argent and gules a cramp bendwise sinister with crossbar, all pometty, of the third. Löllbach belonged throughout much of its history to the Waldgraves, albeit to several lines of that comital house. This explains the charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side, the lion.

Elsewhere on the LP, Smith's lyrics discuss issues such as drugs on the ranting "Ketamine Sun", and his favourite meal on the jazz-influenced "Pumpkin Soup and Mashed Potatoes". The Unutterable is notable for not featuring a cover song in any format, unlike all of the group's other studio albums from Bend Sinister forward, although "Ketamine Sun" reportedly started life as a cover of Lou Reed's "Kill Your Sons", there is little musical similarity between the two tracks. This was the first and only Fall ‘official’ studio release to be issued on CD only, without a corresponding vinyl version. A double-LP set was eventually issued in 2014.

The municipality’s arms might be described thus: Per bend sinister Or a lion rampant sinister gules armed and langued azure and vert in base an attire of four points fesswise above which a birch leaf palewise, both of the first. The charge on the dexter (armsbearer’s right, viewer’s left) side, the lion, is drawn from the arms once borne by the Waldgraves, among whose holdings was Hausweiler. The antler (“attire” in the blazon) in base refers to the wealth of game in the countryside around the village. The birch leaf on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is canting for the vanished village of Birken, whose name meant “birches”.

The German blazon reads: Unter silbernem Schildhaupt, darin schräggekreuzt rotes Schwert und roter Schlüssel, in Grün ein goldener Stein, aus dem unteren Schildrand wachsend, darüber zwei goldene Eichblätter mit Eicheln.Genehmigungsurkunde vom 20. Oktober 1980, AZ.: 100-020.022, Bezirksregierung Trier The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Vert issuant from base a stone, above which an oak twig issuant from the chief leafed and fructed of two, the whole Or, in a chief argent a sword hilt sable and a key in saltire both gules, the key in bend sinister and surmounting the sword. In its composition, the municipal arms go back to the French Revolution.

The German blazon reads: In gespaltenem Schild vorne in blau oben ein silbernes Lindenblatt, darunter schräggekreuzt ein silberner Hammer und Schlägel, hinten in Gold ein blaubewehrter und gezungter roter Löwe. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale azure a lime leaf in bend sinister, below which a hammer and a sledge per saltire, all argent, and Or a lion rampant gules armed and langued of the first. The lime (or linden) leaf stands as a canting charge for the municipality's name, Lindenschied. The two mining tools stand for the slate mining that was once undertaken within municipal limits.

|
The three charges in the arms stand for the municipality's three centres. The lion refers to the main centre, also called Hollnich, which belonged to the Landgraviate of Hesse until 1802 (Amt of Rheinfels). This is symbolized by the heraldic device borne by the Counts of Katzenelnbogen. The “bend sinister countercompony” (diagonal chequered stripe) is inspired by the “chequy” arms borne by the Counts of Sponheim, who held the low court jurisdiction in Hollnich, but it stands first and foremost for the outlying centre of Gammelshausen, which in ecclesiastical history was attached to the Sponheim holding of Kastellaun through a property that the Kastellaun church owned there.

The German blazon reads: Über blauen, durch Wellenschnitt geteilten Schildfuß schräglinks geteilt, rechts in Rot ein aufsteigendes silbernes Vortragskreuz, links in Silber ein rotes Schildchen, which is a description of the Meerfeld Coat of arms. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Over a base wavy azure, party per bend sinister gules issuant palewise from the line of partition John the Baptist’s cross argent and argent an inescutcheon of the second. The maar gave the municipality the first syllable in its name, Meer—, from an Old High German word meaning "bog" or "moor". The wavy base stands for this body of water.

The German blazon reads: In gespaltenem Schild vorne das blau goldene Schach, hinten in Silber unter einem blauen schrägliegenden Wellenbalken ein schwarzes Wasserrad. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per pale chequy of ten azure and Or and argent a bend sinister wavy enhanced, the end towards chief abased, of the first, below which a waterwheel spoked of eight sable. The “chequy” pattern on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side recalls the “Further” County of Sponheim, whose counts were between 1248 and 1437 Nieder Kostenz's lords and landholders. Their arms bore the same pattern throughout the escutcheon in the same tinctures.

The number of vertical rows can also be specified. When a bend or bend sinister, or one of their diminutives, is chequy, the chequers follow the direction of the bend unless otherwise specified. James Parker cites the French term equipolle to mean chequy of nine, though mentions that this is identical to a cross quarter-pierced (strangely, this is blazoned as "a Latin square chequy of nine" in the arms of the Statistical Society of Canada). He also gives the arms of Prospect as an unusual example of chequy, Chequy in perspective argent and sable; which must be distinguished from cubes as a charge.

That on the north side shows a bend charged with four horseshoes (fer-de- cheval), being the canting arms of Ferrers, overlaid by three ship's rudders in bend sinister, the badge of the Willoughby family, inherited from Cheyne, as evidenced by an appearance on the earlier Cheyne tomb at Edington Priory in Wiltshire. Further rudders are shown in the field, one in base, one in sinister. That on the south side shows the arms of Willoughby de Broke, quartered as on the tomb of Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke (d.1502) at Callington, Cornwall, with some details omitted in the wood- carving.

In heraldry, a standard "bend" is a diagonal band from the upper dexter to the lower sinister (that is, from upper the right of the coat of arms' bearer to his lower left) and a "bend sinister" is its left-handed reverse. To a viewer facing the shield the appearances will be reversed, \ and / respectively. In a 1963 edition of the book, Nabokov explains that "this choice of a title was an attempt to suggest an outline broken by refraction, a distortion in the mirror of being, a wrong turn taken by life." In the novel, Nabokov often uses word- play concerning leftward (or "sinister") movements.

The municipality's arms might be described thus: Gules three bars wavy argent, in chief a dog's head of the second erased gorged sable, in base a sword of the second hilted and pommelled Or per bend sinister. The dog's head is a canting charge. Although the usual word for “dog” in German is Hund, there is also the word Rüde, and thus this dog's head refers to the noble family of Rüdt who once held sway here, and also for Rüdenau itself. The sword is a reference to the Rüdt family's jurisdiction with regards to the court over which they presided, and also to the place where the Thing was held.

The German blazon reads: Unter rotem Schildhaupt, darin ein goldener Zickzackbalken, schräg links von Silber und Rot geteilt; vorn ein schwarzes Rost, hinten eine doppelblättrige, goldene Rose mit rotem Butzen. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister argent a gridiron bendwise sinister sable and gules a rose with petals doubled Or seeded of the field, in a chief of the third a bar dancetty of three of the fourth. The narrow zigzag stripe (“bar dancetty”) stands for the centuries through which the Counts of Manderscheid held sway in Dockweiler. The gridiron is Saint Lawrence’s attribute, and as such symbolizes the church's and the municipality's patron saint.

Nauort lies in the landscape within the Sayn- Isenburg-Grenzau triangle between the charming valleys of the Saynbach and Brexbach on a wooded high plateau. The broad bend sinister wavy seen in the arms stands with the two blue fields of the same size, each with two silver wavy bendlets, for the two valleys with the Saynbach and Brexbach. Widespread pumice deposits from volcanic time gave rise to a pumice industry, which for a long time was an income earner for the community's inhabitants. The pumice, with its naturally yellow colour is represented in the arms by the gold (yellow) colour of the middle field inside the broad bend, also of the same size.

The German blazon reads: Schräglinks geteilt, vorne in rot unter einem achtspeichigen goldenen Mühlrad ein silberner Wellenbalken, hinten blau-goldenes Schach, belegt mit einer Abtskrümme rot-silber wechselnd. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister gules a waterwheel spoked of eight Or above a fess wavy abased argent and chequy of thirty of the second and azure surmounted by an abbot's staff sinister issuant from base sinister counterchanged, of the first on the second and of the third on the fourth. The “chequy” pattern on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side refers to the former mediaeval landholders, the Counts of Sponheim. Kludenbach was part of the Sponheim Amt of Kirchberg.

A field with narrow piles throughout, issuing from either the dexter or sinister side of the shield, is barry pily. A shield paly argent and gules When the field is patterned with an even number of vertical stripes (pallets), the field is described as paly. A shield bendy azure and argent A shield bendy sinister sable and argent A shield Chevronny Or and gules When the field is patterned with a series of diagonal stripes (bendlets), running from top-left to bottom-right, the field is described as bendy. In the opposite fashion (top-right to bottom-left) it is bendy sinister (of skarpes, the diminutive in England of the bend sinister); of chevronels, chevronny.

Ellis Tomlinson.Western Cape Archives : George Municipal Minutes (30 April 1957).

On 30 June 1966, the College of Arms granted the new county borough armorial bearings.Geoffrey Briggs, Civic & Corporate Heraldry: A dictionary of impersonal arms of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, London, 1971 The design incorporated features from the arms of the three merged boroughs. The blazon of the arms was as follows: Per saltire vert and or, two lions rampant in pale or, in fess of either flank a club in bend sinister surmounted by a caduceus in bend proper; on a chief or a lion passant vert. And for a crest: Issuant from a Saxon crown or, a demi lion rampant double queued vert holding with the dexter paw an arrow barb downwards proper.

As the shield would have been carried with the design facing outwards from the bearer, the bend sinister would slant in the same direction as a sash worn diagonally on the left shoulder. A bend (without qualification, implying a bend dexter, though the full term is never used) is a bend which runs from the bearer's top right to bottom left. This division is key to dimidiation, a method of joining two coats of arms by placing the dexter half of one coat of arms alongside the sinister half of the other. In the case of marriage, the dexter half of the husband's arms would be placed alongside the sinister half of the wife's.

The heraldic arms claimed by Prior Gardener include a shield impaling the arms of Jasper Tudor, 'debruised by a bend sinister'.Heraldic Visitation of the Northern Counties in 1530 by Thomas Tonge, Norroy King of Arms (1836); online at ; section on 'The Monasterie of Tynmouth' (pp 35-6 in the 1836 publication). This states that the Prior "whose name ys GARDENER ... ys descended of the noble Queen Kateryn, wyfe of Kyng Henry the vith ... For the said Quene Kateryne was after maryed to Owayn Teddur, by whom he had yssue ... Jasper Duc of Bedford. Whiche Jasper begat a bastard doughter called Ellen, maryed Willyam Gardener, who was father to my said Lord Priour".

The German blazon reads: The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister Or a lion rampant gules armed and langued azure and vert issuant from base a mount of three sable upon which an oaktree of the first. The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side, the lion, is an heraldic device formerly borne by the region's lords, the Waldgraves and Rhinegraves. The tree on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is a local, protected 200-year-old oak, the Brecheiche (“Breaking Oak”, so named as it was at this tree that flax was once broken). The mount of three (Dreiberg in German) is canting for the latter syllable of the municipality's name, –berg, which means “mountain”.

Arms of Henry Charles FitzRoy, first Duke of Grafton (1663–1690), a natural son of King Charles II: the royal arms, crossed by a baton which is both sinister and compony It is a diminutive of the bend sinister and constitutes a narrow strip that runs from the upper right to the lower left of a coat of arms. Sinister (meaning left in Latin) is merely a directional indicator, and does not carry the negative connotations of the word in modern English. It is commonly believed to be an indicator of an illegitimate birth in the family line, and is used in this way in literary contexts. However, in medieval England, there was no single mark of difference for bastardy.

Sergey was mentioned in Vladimir's autobiography Speak, Memory: An Autobiography Revisited. According to Brian Boyd, Vladimir was tormented by the thought that he did not love his brother enough, and there was a long history of inattentiveness, mindless ridicule, and neglect. In 1945, Nabokov wrote, in a letter to E. Wilson: "The Germans sent my second brother to one of the worst concentration camps (near Hamburg), where he disappeared. This message struck me because in my opinion Sergey was the last person who, in my opinion, could have been arrested (for his "Anglo- Saxon sympathies"): a harmless, idle, touching person..." Some literary scholars point to the possibility of Sergey Nabokov's character informing the main characters of the novels The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, Bend Sinister, and Ada or Ardor: A Family Chronicle.

The difference between the two coats of arms is that the arms of the Holy See have the gold key in bend and the silver key in bend sinister"The golden key, which points upwards on the dexter side, signifies the power that extends even to Heaven. The silver key, which must point up to the sinister side, symbolizes the power over all the faithful on earth." Bruno Bernhard Heim, Heraldry in the Catholic Church: Its Origin, Customs and Laws (Van Duren 1978 ), p. 54. (as in the sede vacante coat of arms and in the external ornaments of the papal coats of arms of individual popes), while the reversed arrangement of the keys was chosen for the arms of the newly founded Vatican City State in 1929.

Abbot Lyfing and his successor Abbot Ealdred both became Bishops of Worcester, and the latter is said to have crowned King William the Conqueror. The thirty-sixth abbot, John Dynynton, was granted leave in 1458 to use various pontificalia and the mitre, which latter gave him a seat in Parliament.A mitred abbot could sit in Parliament among the Lords and probably had the title Abbot-Sovereign. The thirty-ninth abbot, Richard Banham or Baynham,Richard Banham (1492 - 1523), the 39th Abbot, was more likely to have been Richard Baynham who was granted arms in the time of Henry VIII as follows: Gules a mace in bend sinister surmounted by a pastoral staff in bend dexter or on a chief argent three pierced mullets of five points sable (College of Arms Ms: 2G4/5b).

The term "bar sinister" is an erroneous term when used in this context, since the "bar" in heraldry refers to a horizontal line. The bend sinister, reduced in size to that of a bendlet (narrow) or baton (ending short of the edge of the shield), was one of the commonest brisures (differences) added to the arms of illegitimate offspring of European aristocratic lords. Such royal descent was considered a mark of honour, and in most of Europe, illegitimate children of nobles, despite having few legal rights, were customarily regarded as noble and married within the most aristocratic families. This was the usual mark used to identify illegitimate descendants of the English royal family dating from fifteenth century, as in the arms of Arthur Plantagenet, 1st Viscount Lisle, illegitimate son of Edward IV of England.

The German blazon reads: In Silber, halblinks und schrägrechts durch blaue Wellenbalken geteilt, vorn ein rotes Balkenkreuz, hinten oben ein grünes Birkenblatt, unten ein schwarzes Wasserrad. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent a bend sinister wavy and couped at the nombril point a bend azure to sinister base, in dexter chief a cross gules throughout, in sinister a birchleaf palewise slipped vert and in base a waterwheel spoked of six sable. The cross refers to the village’s former allegiance to the Electorate of Trier in the Holy Roman Empire. The waterwheel refers to the Friedrich Neubauer gristmill, known as Fritze Mühle, which was destroyed in the 1920s. The birchleaf is a canting charge for the municipality’s name, Birkheim (Birke is German for birch).

In 1985, Rogers left both Rambert and Incantation and joined the post-punk group the Fall, initially as temporary bassist replacing Stephen Hanley. After Hanley's return from paternity leave, Rogers joined the Fall as on guitar and keyboards for the album This Nation's Saving Grace and co-writing several songs on the follow-up Bend Sinister. He produced their top 20 album The Frenz Experiment (1988) before parting company with the group. During this period, he also produced two albums for Bauhaus singer Peter Murphy. He began to compose for television whilst at Rambert and his credits include TV dramas such as The Old Men at the Zoo (1982), Much Ado About Nothing (1983) and The Rainbow (1988) as well as two American TV movies, Daddy (1987) and The Preppie Murder (1989) for ABC.

The German blazon reads: Schräglinks geteilt, vorne in Silber ein schrägrechter roter Sparrenbalken, von roten Schindeln begleitet, hinten in Rot zwei ineinanderhängende goldene Ringe schräglinks übereinander. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister argent semée of billets a bend dancetty gules and gules two annulets interlaced bendwise sinister Or. The bend dancetty (diagonal zigzag) and the billets (little rectangles) are charges drawn from arms once borne by "Hans von Pumere" and bearing the year 1368, as recorded in a tapestry at Burg Eltz, a local castle. The annulets, or rings, are a charge borne by the former Himmerod Abbey, who had the biggest landholdings in Pommern. The first vineyard was transferred to the Abbey as early as 1234 by Arnold von Braunshorn.

In 1985 Wolstencroft formed the Weeds with friend Andrew Berry and released the single 'China Doll' on the In Tape label. Wolstencroft reveals in his memoir that when the Weeds played support to the Fall at Harlesden Mean Fiddler, a blazing row between Mark E. Smith and Fall drummer Karl Burns led to Smith offering Wolstencroft the stool in the Fall. Wolstencroft joined the Fall in time to play on most of the group's Bend Sinister album (on which he was credited as "John' S. Woolstencroft"), and remained in the band for over a decade, occasionally adding keyboards and programming to his role as well as co- writing the group's only self-penned Top 40 single, "Free Range", from their Code: Selfish album. He left the band following a dispute over the recording of the Levitate album.

The German blazon reads: In Silber durch einen blauen schräglinken Wellenbalken geteilt, vorne eine grüne Fichte mit Astwerk, hinten ein rotes schäglinkes Hifthorn. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Argent a bend sinister wavy between a spruce with two lower branches couped vert and a bugle-horn bendwise sinister gules. The spruce tree is a canting reference to the municipality's name, Scheid, on the assumption that the Celtic theory of the name's origin holds true (“wood” or “forest”). The tree is also meant to stand for forestry, which has always been important in Scheid. The horn is Saint Cornelius’s attribute, thus representing the municipality’s and the chapel’s patron saint. During the 19th century, a small herd of sheep was kept in Scheid, the so-called “Cornelius sheep”, which served to support the chapel.

The German blazon reads: Schild von eingebogener, erniedrigter schwarzer Spitze, darin silberne Glocke, gespalten; rechts in Gold eine schwarze verschlungene Augenbinde, links in Grün über einer schräglinken silbernen Wellenleiste ein silbernes Mühlrad. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Tierced in mantle, dexter Or a blindfold bendwise sinister, the end in chief folded bendwise and the end thereof folded under sable, sinister vert a bend sinister wavy abased above which a waterwheel spoked of twelve all argent, and in base sable a bell of the fourth. The tiercing symbolizes the three centres of Unzenberg, Göbenhausen and Tombach, which grew together to form today's municipality. The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side, the blindfold, refers to the mediaeval blood court at Itzelbach, for which the village had to supply the blindfolds.

The German blazon reads: Schild von eingebogener grüner Spitze, darin ein silberner Turm, rechts und links von je zwei silbernen Eichenblättern begleitet, gespalten; vorn in Silber ein rotes Balkenkreuz, hinten in Gold ein blaubewehrter roter Löwe. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Tierced in mantle, dexter argent a cross gules, sinister Or a lion rampant of the second armed azure, in base vert a tower of the first between four oakleaves palewise of the same, those in dexter in bend and those in sinister in bend sinister. The two charges on the sides of the “mantle” are historical references. The cross on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side is from Electoral Trier's old arms, and the lion rampant on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side from those borne by the Waldgraves and Rhinegraves.

The arms of the Worshipful Company of Security Professionals contain an example of indented acute, a form of indented with higher peaks. The number of peaks in indented is almost never specified, but an exception is the arms of Arthur D. Stairs: Per bend sinister indented of six steps Gules and Sable, and Westville, Natal, South Africa bears Sable, issuant from behind a fence of spears in base Argent, a fig tree in leaf Or; on a chief indented of four points to base, also Or, three lion's faces Sable. In South Africa there are a number of examples of dancetty inverted. While the number of peaks in dancetty are three unless otherwise specified, the arms of Wagland show dancetty of two points and the arms of Baz Manning show a chief "dancetty of two full points upwards".

Nun Nicer was back in action a week later when she finished third to the colt Addendum in the Foal Stakes over one mile at Sandown Park, conceding eleven pounds to the winner. At Lingfield Park on 9 July the filly started the 7/4 favourite for the £1,175 Imperial Stakes over one mile but after taking the lead in the straight she was overtaken in the closing stages and finished fourth behind Schonberg, Bend Sinister and Lowood. On 2 September at Sandown Nun Nicer started at the unusual odds of 1/50 for the September Stakes over one mile and won "in a canter" by two lengths from Simon Pure, her only opponent. Three weeks later the filly started 2/7 favourite for the £1,084 Palatine Plate at Manchester and won very easily having "sailed to the front" in the straight.

During the war against the Axis powers and after their downfall, a new wave of pro-USSR sentiment swept America, as the Soviet army had played a large role in the Allied victory, which deeply disturbed Nabokov, a fierce opponent of Communism. Brian Boyd writes that Nabokov wrote the novel in "an attempt to show that Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia represented fundamentally the same brutish vulgarity inimical to everything most vulnerable and most valuable in human life". In February 1943, Nabokov would give an impassioned speech at a panel discussion at Wellesley, extolling the virtues of democracy while denouncing totalitarian states in the process: Such influences aside, Nabokov was insistent in his aestheticism, disclaiming any interest in the "literature of social comment" and denying "automatic comparisons between Bend Sinister and Kafka's creations and Orwell's clichés".

The German blazon reads: The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister chequy of gules and argent and argent issuant from base a mound of three, above which a wolf's head caboshed, both azure. The “chequy” pattern on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the “Hinder” County of Sponheim, Oberamt of Birkenfeld. The charge in base on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side, known in German heraldry as a Dreiberg, is in part canting for the village's name, at least for the last syllable, for Berg means "mountain" in German, and it also refers to the village's high elevation and the Gebück mountain ridge. The wolf's head refers to the Wolfskaul, an area within municipal limits where there was once a wolf- catching pit.

The community’s arms might be described thus: A pale wavy argent, dexter gules in chief a scallop shell reversed of the first, in base dancetty of three of the first, sinister vert in chief a letter H, on whose cross stroke a figure of 4, in base a beech leaf in bend sinister of the first. The wavy pale stands for the river Sinn, the market community’s namesake. This river forms the geographical boundary between the Spessart and the Rhön. The three silver points in a red field, the so-called “Franconian rake”, recall the community’s long period of ownership by the Prince-Bishopric (Hochstift) of Würzburg. The silver shell is Saint James’s attribute, to whom the church in Obersinn is consecrated. The community’s rural character is represented by the beech leaf and the tincture vert (green).

Coat of arms The German blazon reads: Schräglinks geteilt: vorne in Silber ein durchgehendes rotes Kreuz, belegt mit einem silbernem Hifthorn mit goldenem Riemen; hinten in Schwarz ein wachsender, rot bewehrter, gezungter und gekrönter goldener Löwe. This might in English heraldic language be rendered thus: Per bend sinister argent a cross gules surmounted by a bugle-horn of the first, the bell to sinister, stringed Or, and sable issuant from base a lion rampant, his dexter paw couped at the line of partition, of the third armed, langued and crowned of the second. The upper part of the coat of arms shows the main charge of the coat of arms of the Zell district, the cross of Trier, as the Bishops of Trier had a castle at Zell. The horn stands for the territory of Beilstein.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister azure a church chancel foremost Or and argent Saint Medardus proper vested of the first, mitred Or and bearing a staff of the same in the dexter hand a book of the same in the sinister. The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side is the local church, and the tinctures, blue and gold, are those borne by the Bishopric of Verdun, for the area was donated to the Bishop of Verdun sometime between 575 and 588. The charge on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is the municipality's patron saint, Medardus, who is also the village's namesake. He is shown as a bishop, which is also a reference to the village's former allegiance to the Bishopric of Verdun, dating back to the Early Middle Ages.

The German blazon reads: In Grün zwei gekreuzte goldene Bischofsstäbe, recht traditionell, links modern mit als Ring ausgeführter, darin drei mit der Krümme verbundene kleine Ringe, unten eine silberne Urne, umrahmt von silbernen Steinen eines Hügelgrabes in Vorderansicht The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Vert issuant from base dexter and sinister two bishop’s staffs per saltire, the one in bend sinister traditional and the one in bend modern with a ring-shaped crook containing three annulets, each joined to the crook by a curved spoke, all Or, and issuant from base an arch of stones as of a barrow affronty, within which an urn, all argent. The traditional bishop’s staff refers to Martin of Tours, the parish patron. In 307, both the clergy and the people chose him as Bishop of Tours. He died on 8 November 371.

The municipality's arms might be described thus: Per bend sinister wavy argent issuant from the line of partition a lion azure armed and langued gules and sable in base an ear of rye and one of wheat couped in base Or and to sinister a coalminer's lamp of the same, the flame proper. The charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side is the heraldic emblem formerly borne by the Counts of Veldenz, who were the local rulers in the Middle Ages. The charges on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side represent the village's coalmining history (the coalminer's lamp) and agricultural heritage (the ears of grain). The tinctures on this side are also historically borne by the Palatinate. The wavy line of partition is canting for the placename ending –bach, a reference to the village's namesake brook (Bach is German for “brook”).

The German blazon reads: The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister argent a bend wavy abased above which the letters N and H in bend, and chequy gules and argent issuant from base a mount of three sable. The letters N and H on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side refer to the municipality's name, as does the wavy bend (slanted stripe; the ending —bach means “brook” in German), while the “chequy” field on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the County of Sponheim, and the mount of three – a charge called a Dreiberg in German heraldry – stands for the Amt within the County of Sponheim in which Niederhosenbach lay, namely Herrstein (whose name literally means “Lordstone”). Niederhosenbach even today lies in a Verbandsgemeinde of that same name.

The coat of arms of Vatican City State is officially described, under the heading "Annex B. Official coat of arms of Vatican City State", in article 20 of the Fundamental Law of Vatican City State in force since 22 February 2001, which repeats the contents of article 19 of the original Fundamental Law of Vatican City State adopted on 7 June 1929 with immediate effect. Each of these official documents includes an illustration of the coat of arms of the state accompanied by the words "Chiavi decussate sormontate dal triregno in campo rosso" (Crossed keys beneath the papal tiara on a red field) and is accompanied by an illustration that depicts the keys as two in number, one white (argent) in bend and one golden (or) in bend sinister, interlaced at their intersection with a red (gules) cord. The tiara is represented as white with golden crowns.

The Seal of the Divine Word College of San Jose is the official instrument used by the school as its official symbol and identity, and to certify its legal public documents and publications. The seal used when the school was originally established as Southern Mindoro Academy in 1945 features a map of Mindoro island over a white backdrop, enclosed by a circular white band with inner and outer black rings in which the then school abbreviation (SMA), its founding year (1945), and the name of the town of San Jose were inscribed. When the academy was handed over to the Society of the Divine Word in 1960, the school adopted religious iconography, such as the cross over a mountain which symbolizes the Catholic Faith in Occidental Mindoro, and an eagle which symbolically represents St. John the Evangelist from whom the school was named. In the middle was a bend sinister dividing the shield in halves and bearing the school's acronym, DWC, which stands for Divine Word College.

This may arise from a common misunderstanding about heraldry, in which left and right – or sinister and dexter – are told from the armsbearer's point of view, not the viewer's.“Dexter” explained by Parker“Sinister” explained by Parker The example of the arms shown at the town's own website shows the crenellated (“embattled”) tower on top of the escutcheon;Description and explanation of Wittlich’s arms however, the example at Heraldry of the World shows the arms without this.Wittlich’s arms at Heraldry of the World This same webpage also shows a coat of arms for Wittlich which apparently appeared in the old Coffee Hag albums. It might be described as “Argent two keys per saltire, the wards to chief, the one in bend sinister surmounting the other, azure.” In other words, the field tincture was silver (“argent”) instead of red (“gules”), and the keys were not only blue instead of silver, but also crossed to form an X (“per saltire”).

The German blazon reads: Unter silbernem Schildhaupt mit rotem Zickzackbalken, von Rot über Silber schräglinks geteilt, oben 4 (3:1) goldene Mispelblüten mit blauem Butzen, unten ein schwarzer Rost. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister gules four cinquefoils Or pierced azure, three and one, and argent a gridiron bendwise sinister sable, on a chief of the fourth a fess dancetty of three of the first. The municipality of Üxheim is made up of the former municipalities of Heyroth, Leudersdorf, Niederehe and Üxheim-Ahütte, all of which belonged in the Middle Ages to the Lordship of Kerpen, which was held by the Dukes of Arenberg. They bore cinquefoils (this device is so-called in English heraldry,Parker on cinquefoils but the German blazon describes them as Mispelblüten, German for common medlar blossoms) in the same tinctures as seen on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side below the chief in these arms.

The German blazon reads: Schild schräglinks stufenförmig geteilt, vorne in Silber ein roter Drache, hinten in Rot drei goldene Ähren. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister indented, argent a dragon segreant gules and gules three ears of wheat conjoined on one stem slipped Or. Written history records that on 30 December 1704, Count Hugo Ernst Cratz von Scharfenstein donated all his rights to the villages of Rivenich and Erlenbach to Baron Karl Kaspar von Kesselstatt, Provost of the Trier Monastery of St. Paulin. With the family von Kesselstatt's approval, the charge borne by the former barons (later Imperial counts) appears on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side. The step-shaped division of the field recalls the “fess dancetty” (horizontal zigzag stripe) formerly borne as an heraldic device by the Lords of Manderscheid, and thereby also Rivenich's time under the Manderscheid-Bruch high court.

The community's arms might be described thus: Argent a Roman watchtower with a tent roof gules, in chief dexter an inescutcheon party per pale argent and sable with a bend sinister counterchanged, in chief sinister an inescutcheon of the second with a wheel spoked of six of the first. The watchtower is a reference to the Limes Germanicus, built by the Roman Emperor Hadrian (117-138), which once ran along the river Main between Kleinwallstadt and the town across the river, Großwallstadt (klein and groß are German for “little” and “great” respectively). The inescutcheon on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side is the Focke von Wallstadt family's arms, and the one on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is charged with the Wheel of Mainz, and refers to the community's long history as an Electoral Mainz holding, lasting until the Old Empire's downfall in 1803. The tinctures argent and gules (silver and red) also refer to Mainz's former overlordship.

The German blazon reads: Schild schräglinks geteilt, linke Seite in Silber und eine nach oben geöffnete Kette mit roten Klickersteinen, rechte Seite rot-silbern geschacht, belegt mit einem schwarzen Dreiberg. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister argent a chain of clicker stones open to dexter chief gules, and chequy gules and argent issuant from base a mount of three sable. The chain of stones on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side refers to the local tradition of the "clicker grinders" (Klickerschleifer – see explanation under The tradition of "clickers"), while the "chequy" field on the sinister (armsbearer's left, viewer's right) side is a reference to the village's former allegiance to the County of Sponheim, and the mount of three – a charge called a Dreiberg in German heraldry – stands for the Amt within the County of Sponheim in which Niederwörresbach lay, namely Herrstein (whose name literally means "Lordstone"). Niederwörresbach even today lies in a Verbandsgemeinde of that same name.

The German blazon reads: In durch schwarzen Pfahl gespaltenem Schild vorne in Silber über blauem, schräglinkem Wellenbalken ein schwarzes Wasserrad, hinten der Hunolstein’sche Schild: in Gold zwei rote Balken begleitet von 12 (5:4:2:1) roten Steinen, halb. The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: An endorse sable between, dimidiated, argent a bend sinister wavy with a waterwheel spoked of six in dexter chief of the first, and the Hunolstein escutcheon: Or two closets among twelve cubes, five in fess in chief, four in fess between and three in base, all gules. The waterwheel charge on the dexter (armsbearer's right, viewer's left) side recalls the Brandmühle on the Traunbach, an old gem polishing mill that was torn down to make way for the Traunbach valley road. The wavy bend on the same side is canting for the municipality's name, at least for the last syllable (Bach means “brook” in German).

The German blazon reads: Schild halbrechts und schräglinks geteilt, oben in Gold eine rote Lilie, vorne in Rot ein silberner Kelch, daneben links ein goldener Wecken, hinten in Blau ein aufgerichtetes goldenes Schwert, links daneben ein stehender goldener Bischofsstab. The municipality’s arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Per bend sinister, dexter per bend Or a fleur-de-lis gules and gules a chalice argent and to sinister a bun of the first, sinister azure a sword and a bishop’s staff in fess, both palewise and of the first. The lily, as a Marian symbol, refers to the Marienkapelle (chapel). The chalice and the bun, symbols of the inn, recall the first documentary mention, the estate owner and innkeeper Michel. The sword and bishop’s staff, charges taken from the Ueß- Uersfeld court seal, refer to the time when Kötterichen belonged to Uersfeld, and to the nearby gallows for the high court of the Electoral-Cologne Schultheißenamt of Uersfeld.Description and explanation of Kötterichen’s arms – Click on Wappen.

The community’s arms might be described thus: Per saltire in chief gules a wheel spoked of six argent, dexter argent a pot of the first with two spouts, sinister a flag, the pole of the first per bend sinister, the flag square of the first to sinister of the pole, thereon a cross bottonnée of the field, in base gules issuant from the base point palewise an oak sprig leafed of two and acorned of three of the second. The six-spoked Wheel of Mainz and the tinctures argent and gules (silver and red) refer to Electoral Mainz’s former overlordship. The red pot is taken from the arms formerly borne by the Lords of Riedern, who were first mentioned in 1206, and who died out in 1588. The flag stands for Heppdiel, the cross thereon being Saint Maurice’s cross, referring to Saint Maurice’s Parish Church in Heppdiel. The oak sprig is canting for the name Eichenbühl (Eiche means “oak” in German), and was drawn from Eichenbühl’s old arms, discarded in 1959.
