Delineation, ratios and angles of a basic chevron.

Frente a los que denomino cabrio clásico y cabrio abierto, este se traza por el simple cruce de una banda y una barra.

Produce un desigual reparto de los espacios vacíos del campo, amplio por encima, escaso por debajo. Dependiendo del diseño que se haya que realizar, esto puede ser una ventaja o un inconveniente.

Por ejemplo, en este caso del escudo de Juan de Ladbrooke, no hay cargas ni figuras para las que habilitar espacio, sólo es un cabrio de armiños, por lo que esta forma de diseño puede ser adecuada y, más aún, si se desea un clara y patente representación del azur.

Sobre cómo se calculan los 50,2^o del ángulo de este cabrio, empleando el arcotangente de 6/5, puede consultarse el artículo que lleva por título esquema de una banda y una barra.

Coat of arms of Yaroslav Pototsky emblazoned by me under his directions. [Académie internationale d'héraldique; 1952; figure 79] defines, in the case of a charge placed lower in the shield than its default position, the terms «abatido», «in base», «abaissé» and «abbassato» in Spanish, English, French and Italian respectively, and when it is specifically a chevron, [Académie internationale d'héraldique; 1952; figure 147], «cabria bajado», «chevron in base», «chevron failli (abaissé)» and «abassato». But [Real Academia Española; 2001; abatido] provides meanings more associated with mood and other negative connotations rather than with a geometric position; in geometry, for instance, «abatir» a plane means to rotate it through an imaginary hinge rather than to lower it, which creates confusion. Likewise, the English term «abased» also carries negative connotations. Therefore, I prefer to use the terms «en punta» ~ «chevron in base», which I believe are more illustrative.

Party per chevron Gules and Vert, overall a chevron ermine between, in the dexter of the chief a dexter hand apaumée couped at the wrist, in the sinister of the chief a key palewise, ward to dexter chief, and in base a boar passant Argent. Motto: «To Thine Own Self Be True» Sable, with initial letters Gules, over a scroll Argent.

Design rationale

This design combines Byrne, O'Byrne, Ó Broin arms: «Gules, a chevron between three dexter hands apaumée couped at the wrist Argent», with O'Hanlon, Ó hAnluain arms: «Vert, on a mount in base proper, a boar passant Ermine».

These features embody the heraldic adaptation by Gaelic chieftains, integrating ancient tribal symbolism deeply rooted in Celtic mythology and rich local traditions from Wicklow and Armagh.

This design, while combining elements from each and respects this symbolism:

• The layout of the traditional Byrne arms was chosen as the basis for the new arms to reflect the armiger's surname, however, for difference only one of the three dexter hands is employed but in the prime dexter position on the shield and retaining its tinctures. The sinister position has a key to emphasise and reflect the motto «To Thine Own Self Be True» as the essential or key message for one's life, integrity and honesty.
• The base of the shield has the boar taken from the O'Hanlon arms, an ancient symbol of bravery, courage, and tenacity.
• The chevron ermine was chosen to incorporate an element used in various versions of the Byrne and O'Hanlon traditional arms and to reflect the nobility of these two ancient clans/septs who fought long and hard to maintain their independence right up to the XVII century.

Coat of arms of Jason Landers Northam from Illinois, emblazoned by me. The «cabrio» is «chevron». The Diccionario de la Lengua Española, [Real Academia Española; 2014], in the 3^rd definition of «cabrio», states: «m. Heráld. Honourable ordinary, in the form of a half saltire, whose point extends to the center of the chief and appears as an open compass». It gives as a synonym «chebrón», which interestingly is spelled with «b», although it is also accepted with «v», that is, «chevrón», and the definition of «chebron (chevron)» refers back to «cabrio», considering «cabrio» the main term. For this reason I use «cabrio» instead of «chevrón», just as I use «sotuer», see the definition of «chevron» as a half «sotuer», instead of «aspa». In English the term «chevron» is used, and for its diminished version «chevronel», while in Spanish the heraldic term for the diminished version is «tenaza». In English the same root is used for «chevron» and its diminished version «chevronel», while in Spanish «cabrio» and «tenaza» have different origins, the latter visually referring to the tool for gripping and cutting that bears the same name.

Coat of arms of Lukas Podlipny, Slovakia, emblazoned by me. His name, with the diacritical marks used in Slovak, is written as Lukáš Podlipný.
