In the first quarter of the inescutcheon of this coat of arms there is «a bend Or engouled by two dragon heads of the same, issuing from the corners» following the blazon structure of [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 84], although it can also be blazoned more briefly as «a bend Or engouled by dragons».

The attribute engouled is used for «bends, crosses, saltires, and all other ordinaries, whose ends are in the mouths of lions, leopards, or dragons» according to [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 83]. It is a word of French origin meaning to swallow or to engulf, that is, the beasts are devouring the ordinary.

For example, if you change «Azure, a Cross Argent» by «Azure, a Pall Argent», then the Pommes can arrive to «Or» blazon and the Hurts can arrive to «Argent» blazon. You can view both paths azure and vert in the following image.

Other solution is to change «Azure, a Cross Argent» by «Azure, a Bordure Argent».

Example, Uranzu in the volume VI

The volume IV has 454 pages numbered from 1525 to 1979. This is my translation for the 4^th coat of arms of the 5 blazons of surname «Uranzu» described on pages 1,726 and 1,728 of this volume IV (see in the previous image of the original blazon).

Although I am not sure of the reality of this coat of arms, I have made a) in Spanish a simplification and b) its translation in parallel to English. I assume that in the 2^nd flag the Fleurs de lis in triangle are 3 and they are ordered. Although I am not sure of the reality of this busy coat of arms, I can't found a painted version, I have made a) a simplification of its Spanish blazon and b) its translation in parallel to English. I assume that in the 2^nd flag the Fleurs de lis in triangle are 3 and they are ordered. The colors of the text in the images lets an easy reading and show the blazon structure. There are in this coat of arms 1+9+7+5+1 = 23 ships.

Currently the National Institute of Statistics of Spain (I. N. E.), about the surname «Uranzu» answer that «there are no inhabitants with the surname consulted», neither 1^st nor 2^nd surname, «or its frequency is less than 5 for the national total».

Sable, three Towers Or, two and one

The classic heraldic layout for three charges on a coat of arms is two in chief and on in base. The layout one in chief and two at base are considered disordered in many heraldic traditions.

The blazon of this coat of arms, «Sable, three Towers Or, two and one», is disordered, and the entropy refers to disorder, and more entropy means more disorder. Then this imaginary coat of arms is full of entropy, and it could belong to the entropy.
