The February 2026 Letter of Acceptances and Returns has been published. Here are the results for Calontir.

CALONTIR acceptances

Danik Guskin. Name and device. Per fess azure and vert, a goose reguardant argent.

Nice cant on Gus, Russian for goose!

Fulk de Barenton. Name (see RETURNS for device).

This name combines an English given name with a French byname, an acceptable lingual mix per SENA Appendix C.

Ívarr inn rauði. Badge. (Fieldless) A valknut purpure.

There is a step from core practice for the use of a valknut.

Johanna Tehrani. Name change from Giovanna Canzoniere da Firenze.

Submitted as Johanna al Tehrani, this Persian name was not formed correctly. Tehrani is a locative both in Persian and Arabic. For a Persian byname derived from this element, we need to omit the Arablic definite article al (‘the’). For Arabic we need to feminize the byname al-Tehrani to al-Tehraniyya. Therefore, with the submitter’s permission, we have changed this to the Persian byname Johanna __ Tehrani. Arabic Bible translations gloss the Hebrew given name, Johanna as Yuwanna. If the submitter is interested in the fully Arabic form of the name Yuwanna al-Terhaniyya, they may submit a request for reconsideration.

Johanna is the submitter’s legal given name.

The submitter’s prior name, Giovanna Canzoniere da Firenze, is retained as an alternate.

Kassiani Zaridina. Device. Vert, a sea-horse contourny Or tailed argent.

Ketill Emerickson. Name change from Ketill Steinarsson.

Submitted using the Existing Registration Allowance for the given name, the submitter need not rely on that, as Ketill can be dated to 1338 Norway.

This name combines a Norwegian given name and an English surname, an acceptable lingual mix per SENA Appendix C.

The submitter’s prior name, Ketill Steinarsson, is released.

Kunigund von Lichtenstein. Name and device. Pean, on a pile throughout argent a tyger rampant purpure.

Magge Magnus. Augmentation of arms. Purpure, on a bend between two hummingbirds hovering argent three butterflies bendwise sinister purpure and for augmentation the center butterfly replaced with a fireball palewise proper.

Meriilda of Yorkshire. Alternate name Ulpia Martialis Secunda.

Nathaniel Lennox. Badge. Vert platy, a beaker and on a chief Or three lemons vert.

Nikolai Gornostai Spiach’ev. Badge. (Fieldless) A sea-dodo azure tailed vert.

As this is the first submission of a dodo in over thirty years we take this opportunity to redocument the charge. The dodo is an extinct flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius. The birds were described by Portuguese sailors in 1507 and were extinct by 1681.

Usuki Atsutada. Name.

CALONTIR returns

Fulk de Barenton. Device. Argent, an icosahedral die vert.

This device is returned for conflict with the badge of the Principality of Nordmark, (Fieldless) A hexagonal gemstone vert. There is a DC for fieldlessness, but both charges are essentially diapered hexagons, without sufficient visual difference between them for a DC.

We direct Morsulus to cross reference these charges with each other in the O and A.
