French heraldry also use 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.

37. Chief enmanché; This term describes the chief with lines drawn from the centre of the upper edge to the sides to about half the breadth of the chief, as if it had sleeves upon it.
