#x--Precedents:-Conflict:Conflict:

From the September 2008 LoAR: Elspeth Jamieson. Device. Argent vêtu ployé azure, two serpents erect respectant entwined sable. This is returned for conflict with Werenher von Ingolstadt, Azure, on a lozenge argent, a bear statant erect sable. Precedent, set in April 2008, says "While a lozenge throughout must always be checked as though it were a vêtu field (and thus comparable to all other fields), a lozenge need only be compared to a vêtu field (not to all fields)." The converse is not true - vêtu must be checked against a lozenge throughout, a lozenge, and all fields. Since Elspeth's submission can be blazoned as Azure, on a lozenge ployé throughout argent, two serpents erect respectant, bodies entwined sable, there is only a single CD for the multiple changes to the tertiary charges. We do not give a CD for the difference between a lozenge and a lozenge throughout, nor do we give one for the difference between plain and ployé edges on a charge. [Note that under SENA one can now get MORE than a single DC for mulptiple changes to tertiary charges!] [[6]]

From the November 2002 LoAR: "There is no difference between a lozenge and a lozenge ployé, nor is there difference between a lozenge and a lozenge throughout." [2002 LoAR]

From the February 2002 LoAR: [Cecily of Whitehaven. Badge. Per fess argent and azure, in chief a lozenge gules.] This submission was originally blazoned using a lozenge fesswise. Because lozenges could be drawn with various proportions in period, including a square set on its corner (which can be neither fesswise nor palewise), it does not make sense to distinguish different proportions of lozenge in blazon.
