Rebated

A fylfot or a cross potent rebated

1. Having the points broken off, partly removed, cut short or couped. The term tenanted with a similar meaning is also found in the works of some authors.

Cross annulated rebated, being a cross rebated at each end with annulets affixed thereunto; Also appears blazoned as a cross the ends tenanted and annulated.

 2. Chief rebated. This term has been used by English heralds to indicate the French retrait en chef. The French term, in fact, is not a chief but describes a shield bearing ordinaries, such as pales or pallets issuant from the chief but couped short at approximately the honour point. French heraldry also uses the term retrait en pointe which is the opposite and has the ordinaries issuant from the base and couped at approximately the nombril. Compare with Retracted.
