Bowed dorsed or endorsed, contrary or counter-bowed, bowed-counter or contrary bowed, bowed-contrary or counter-bowed. These terms have nearly the same meaning and are alike applicable to anything bowed, the ends of which are again turned in a contrary direction, either in the form of a horse-shoe with the ends reverted or turned outwards or the letter S which turns counterwise at each extremity.

This may be called flected, reflected or bowed-embowed and may also be applied to fish or any other charges, when borne back to back in pairs, bowed contrary to each other, termed also embowed-endorsed.
