[antir-heralds] one last request for help with my badge; CC please

[Vanyev Betzina]

I have corrected the statement to mean my true purpose;  that a cross  
clechy is really a cross tipped in lozenges, and that those lozenges  
need not necessarily be ploye.  I have also re-posted the graphic.

An undocumented exemplar can be found amongst the extensive  
collection of free heraldic clipart here:

http://www.heraldicclipart.com/catalog/cross-143.html

I will be working Herald's point at Egil's myself, and will see you  
there.
