Escut.Notes: Client cares most about Sound The Beginning “Zi” sound.
Clients original name and device were returned by Kingdom Aug 2008.
NAME & DEVICE RETURNED FOR FURTHER WORK. WE HAVE NO EVIDENCE FOR A MIXED ARABIC/ROMANY NAME, NOR LOCATIVE BYNAMES USED BY THE ROMANY. THE VERY LIMITED INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR ROMANY NAMES MAKES ANY SUCH REGISTRATION DIFFICULT.
DEVICE IS RETURNED WITH THE NAME, AND FOR REDRAW – BORDURE MUST BE MUCH THICKER.
Client appears to have decided on a new name and device so this is a new submission as opposed to a resubmission.
