Supporting document illustrating my proposal, pages 4 and 5.

I have made a suggestion to the Lexicography Institute of the Royal Spanish Academy regarding the heraldic term «pira» in the Dictionary of the Spanish Language. I drafted a document that justified my suggestion, illustrated it, and proposed two ways to refine its definition within the Dictionary. I am honored that they have accepted my proposal and chosen the first of the alternative definitions I suggested. The following images are some of those I used to illustrate the supporting document.

Schema.

Delineation.

Coats of arms of the Burr, Osona, Gangoiti and Egado lineages.
