_Pommes_ (green), says Dallaway, are berries; but if etymology is worth anything, they must be apples, and such Leigh calls them. _Hurts_ (blue) the same authority considers berries, and most heralds have taken them to be those diminutive things, whortleberries, or as they are called in Sussex, Cornwall, and Devonshire, 'hurts.' But I am rather inclined with Leigh to consider them representations of the 'black and _blue_' contusions resulting from the "clumsy thumps" of war. _Pellets_ or _Ogresses_ (black) are the 'piletta' or leaden knobs forming the heads of blunt arrows for killing deer without injuring the skin.[96] _Golpes_ (purple) are wounds, and when they stand five in a shield may have a religious allusion to the five wounds of Christ. _Oranges_ (tenne) speak for themselves; and _Guzes_, Leigh says, are eyeballs; but as their colour is sanguine, or dull red, this seems unlikely. The _Annulet_ seems to have been taken from the ring armour, much in use about the period of the Norman Conquest. The _Orle_, or false escocheon, is merely a band going round the shield at a short distance from the edge: it was probably borrowed from an antient mode of ornamenting a shield, serving as a kind of frame to the principal charge. Animals or flowers disposed round the escocheon in the same form, are also termed an orle. The _bordure_, or border, explains itself. Like the orle, it was primarily designed as an ornament. The _lozenge_, derived by Glover from the quarry, or small pane of glass of this shape, Dallaway thinks originated in the diamond-shaped cushions which occur on tombs to support the heads of female effigies, as helmets do those of men. The _mascle_ is taken for the mesh of a net. When many are united the arms are blazoned _masculy_, and then represent a rich network thrown over the armour. At the siege of Carlaverok a certain knight is described as having his armour and vestments 'masculy or and azure:' "Son harnois et son attire Avoit masclé de or et de azure."
