Excerpt from Pimbley's Dictionary of Heraldry, Together With: Illustrated Supplement

The author has attempted to trace the etymological history of each word, and when this proved futile the form of orthography adopted has been that recognized by the College of Arms.

It has been said by some writers that there is no standard of pronunciation. The highest authority is the one in vogue, and the author has adopted the current pronunciation for the standard.

In the case of compound words, they will be found under the first element of the compound. For example, Arms of Adoption will be found under Arms; counter-mir under Counter, instead of after Counterpointe.
