f82r - label x + St Catherine

The choice of vocabulary can have a significant impact on the interpretation of the VMs illustrations. Seeing "the big green pool and its wavy outline" is generically correct, perhaps, but heraldically incorrect. The outline, in which the crests and troughs are drawn as bulbous [point (H) above], is clearly a nebuly line, and the term 'nebuly' etymologically denotes 'clouds' rather than liquid water. 

It is true that there are examples where wavy lines and nebuly lines encroach on opposing territories. Is that true in the VMs or is the intentional creation of ambiguity more likely?

If it is St. Catherine, isn't it better she should be in the clouds, than is some green pool? Thing is the VMs is not like: " Hey, look! It's St. Catherine." It's more like: "Now, guess who this is."

Trickery and duplicity are proven in the VMs cosmos and White Aries (etc.), does it stop there?
