Poumola, lineage of Catalonia
Blazon of the Poumola lineage of Catalonia.
Gules, a millstone Argent.
Escudo de gules, una piedra de molino de plata.
Illuminated and a watercolor finishing with shadow in the hole.
It blazon is describe in [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1987; page 1429], [García Carraffa, A.; García Carraffa, A.; 1968; volume 3, page 358], and [Ferrer i Vives, F.; 1995; volume 2, page 362].
In this case, my theory is that this coat of arms is an example of «canting arms». «Canting arms» use a word or words of the surname or inside the surname to make the coat of arms. The surname Poumola is from Catalonia, we can split the surname into 2 parts «pou-mola», in Catalonian language a) «pou» means «well» and b) «mola» means «millstone» ~ «cadascuna de les dues pedres de forma circular que componen el molí», [GDLC; 1998], and this could be the reason of the symbolism of this coat of arms. «Canting» in heraldry means «talking» or «chatting», in Spanish «canting arms» is translated as «armas parlantes». Some heralds call «canting» to this creative technic.

André, lineage of France
Blazon of the André lineage of France.
Gules, a millstone Or.
Escudo de gules, una piedra de molino de oro.
Illuminated and a watercolor finishing with shadow in the hole.
For its better identification, I have painted the millstone with the ring that fixes it to its axis. This ring is called a millrind, it is made of iron, and usually has 4 arms to better fix the millstone. Millrinds may appear on coats of arms independently of millstones. Another heraldic element related to the previous ones is the millwheel, which is a toothed gear that is part of the mill mechanism but should not be confused with the millstone that grinds the grain.

The coat of arms of Rodelo lineage from Galicia outlined
Gules, six wagon-wheels Or, 2, 2, and 2.
A wagon-wheel is an outer circle of iron, with an inner circle of wood and spokes also of wood, then the wagon-wheel proper has the color of the wood.
The number of spokes could be specified in the blazon, but most of the time it is left to the license of the artist, 6, 8, I like to paint more, for example, 12.

I have always thought that they are canting arms because of the similar sounds between «rodelo», «rodar»~«rolling», and «rueda»~«wheel».
