2.	Eisenhund, College of	New Name Change		name change returned This place name does not match known patterns for forming German place names.
3.	Jacqueline de Meux	Resubmission Badge		badge registered - Blazoned on the LoI as coward, the tail does not extend between the cat's legs and is therefore not coward. Please advise the submitter that heraldic artists are unlikely to draw the tail in front of the cat nor are they likely to knot it such that it resembles a triquetra.

	Submitter's Name & Group	Item(s)	Decision by Laurel
1.	Alaina Frnatzin von Wirtenberg	NAME -NEW & DEVICE - NEW	name registered device registered - There is no heraldic difference between this chief and a chief counter-ermine, and we would normally blazon it as the latter; however, five is few enough that the number may be specified, if the submitter insists.
2.	Anastassia Sviatosalvova vdova Aleksandrova	NAME -NEW & DEVICE - NEW	name registered as Anastasiia Sviatoslavova vdova Aleksandrova device registered
3.	Antonia Stefani	DEVICE - NEW	device registered- [partial commentary] At issue is whether or not the 2002 ([Pegge Leg the Merchant, 03/02, A-An Tir]) precedent should apply to chiefs as well as to bordures. No evidence has been presented to counter the 1992 ({AE}thelstan von Ransbergen, September, 1992, pg. 1) precedent that "the chief would only be used to cadence quartering". We grant the submitter the benefit of the doubt and will register this device. Pending proof that chiefs were commonly used to cadence impaled arms, we will continue to uphold the 1992 precedent and hold that the 2002 precedent applies only to bordures, not to chiefs.
4.	Beatrix Funteyn	NAME -NEW & DEVICE - NEW	name registered device registered
5.	Boris Nemtsov	DEVICE - RESUB	device registered
6.	Caelainn ingen Chainnig	DEVICE - RESUB	device registered
7.	Cordeilla uxor Alexander	NAME -NEW & DEVICE - NEW	name registered device RETURNED for redraw - "This device is returned for lack of documentation: the fork appears to be a form found only post-period. SaraPaston-Williams, in _The Art of Dining: A History of Cooking and Eating_ (The National Trust, 1993), describes (pp. 188-189) the introduction of the eating fork into England in 1611. (It had been in use in Italy for some decades before that; it was essentially a smaller version of the carving fork, which was well in use by the end of period.) Such forks "were made with long, two-pronged hafts fitted into decorative handles of enamelled silver or carved ivory, to match the knives." And later on, the author notes (pp. 250-251) "the fork started the [18th] century as two-pronged, but soon acquired its third prong." Which means three-pronged table forks are about a hundred years out of our period. Unless documentation is found for a three-pronged fork in period, such forks may not be registered.
8..	Emelye Tayte	NAME -NEW & DEVICE - NEW	name registered device registered
9.	Gyda gl{o'}ra	NAME -NEW	name registered as Gy{dh}a gl{o'}ra
10.	Heinrich von Emden	NAME -NEW & DEVICE - NEW	name registered device registered
11.	Iames Levyngistoun	NAME -NEW & DEVICE - NEW	name registered device registered
12.	K{a'}ra in h{a'}rfagra	NAME -NEW & DEVICE - NEW	name registered device registered - Blazoned on the LoI as a "dolphin's tail", with the head missing there is no way to tell that this tail came from a dolphin. As the charge is more than just the tail of the fish, we have blazoned it as half a generic fish. The LoI stated "Unlike a whale or dragon tail, the heraldic dolphin tail is highly recognizable. If this were not the case, placing the tail on a demi-animal would not result in sea creatures (e.g. Sea Lion, Sea Elephant, Sea Wolf, etc) which regularly appear for consideration." However, this is not the case. As Tanczos Istvan wrote, "'Sea-quadruped' means that the hind end has been replaced by a marine critter's rear half, beyond which it doesn't really matter what kind it is, since it's a whopping big fluke, not two legs."
13.	Katalena of Owlsherst	NAME CHANGE - RESUB & DEVICE CHANGE - RESUB	name registered device registered Her old name, "Catalina Artemisia Anguissola", is retained as an alternative name. Her old alternative name, "Katelina Biornsdottir", is released. Her previous device, "Azure, a winged fish volant bendwise and in base a bar wavy Or", is retained as a badge.
14.	Kathryn Daggett	NAME - NEW & DEVICE - NEW	name registered device registered
15.	Lucius Angelini de Santa Croce	DEVICE - RESUB (K return July 2007)	device registered
16.	Lyubava Volchikha	DEVICE CHANGE - NEW	device registered - This is equivalent to _Argent semy of dogs statant sable_; however, as the number and arrangement are important to the submitter we have retained the submitted blazon. Nine is the most charges that can be enumerated in this manner. As Black Stag notes: Surely, a period drawing of 9 items on a shield of this form would have one of the items taking up that uncomfortably blank spot in base. (3, 3, 2 and 1 most likely...) Whereas I wouldn't distinguish 9 items in orle from 7 items in orle or 13 items in orle in a blazon, here I think the "3 3 and 3" arrangement is important enough that - since the submitter seems to want it - it is something we should strongly consider registering. It seems a logical extension of the standard Iberian arrangement of 2 2 and 2. It also seems a logical extension of the standard division of the field into 9 parts (cross quarterpierced/checky of 3... call it what you will.) Her previous device, "Argent, a seraph within a bordure potenty azure", is released.
