«combatant» for lions, heraldic beasts, animals of prey and goats, and
«respectant» for less aggressive animals like fish or birds, for example, the starlings of this coat of arms.

Kimon Andreou, contourné

Party per fess: 1 Azure, a Athenian owl Argent, contourné, in chief; 2 Argent, an oak Azure, eradicated, in base; overall a saltire counterchanged. Motto: «Ischys Dia Tis Gnoseos» written in greek.

Escudo cortado: 1^o de azur, una lechuza al estilo ateniense, contornada de plata, en jefe; 2^o de plata, un roble de azur, arrancado, en punta; brochante sobre el todo un sotuer del uno al otro. Lema: «El poder del conocimiento» escrito en griego.

Existing coat of arms which I have interpreted with: its semicircular (round) base; its 2 fields enameled in plain tinctures Azure and Argent; its saltire with the traditional dimensions of 1/3 of the width of the shield, that is, the width of a bend; its figures outlined in Sable and illuminated in Argent and Azure; its illuminated motto; and the ensemble in lightly beaten metal.

Contourné ~ Contornado

There are authors who limit the use of the term contornado to turned heads that look to the sinister side of the shield. However, here I use contornado in a more general way, following [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 61] who defines it as «contornados se dice de los animales ú de las cabezas de ellos, vueltos á la siniestra del Escudo».

There is another more specific use of the term contornado for the crescent moon: «bueltos se dice de los Crecientes que miran á el lado derecho del Escudo, porque mirando á el siniestro se dice contornados», [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 52].

In English, the equivalent term that I have most frequently seen is «contourné», which comes from French.

The bend, martlets, Or, and Sable are from Luttrell. The fleurs de lis Argent, Sable, and per pale Argent and Sable are from Nelson. As personal elements, the layout includes the letter N from his surname, and the color Gules.
