''Rayonné'' (also ''rayonne'', ''rayonny''; from French ''
rayonner'') may be considered a variant of indented, but with wavy instead of straight lines, as in the conventional representation of rays of the sun. ''Rayonne palewise'' appears in the arms of the 172d Support Battalion of the United States Army. A chief enarched rayonné on a gold field appears in the arms of
Sechelt, British Columbia, forming the appearance of a sun.
The arms of the Worshipful Company of Security Professionals contain an example of ''indented acute,'' a form of indented with higher peaks.
The number of peaks in indented is almost never specified, but an exception is the arms of Arthur D. Stairs: ''Per bend sinister indented of six steps Gules and Sable'', and Westville, Natal, South Africa bears ''Sable, issuant from behind a fence of spears in base Argent, a fig tree in leaf Or; on a chief indented of four points to base, also Or, three lion's faces Sable''.
In South Africa there are a number of examples of ''dancetty inverted''. While the number of peaks in dancetty are three unless otherwise specified, the arms of Wagland show ''dancetty of two points'' and the arms of Baz Manning show a chief "dancetty of two full points upwards". The arms of the Matroosberg Transitional Representative Council in South Africa give an example of ''dancetty… in the shape of a letter W''. The arms of the French department of
Côtes d'Armor show ''émanché,'' which would be equivalent to the English ''per fess dancetty of two full points upwards.'' The arms of
Baron Griffiths of Fforestfach are ''Paly of four Vert and Argent per fess enhanced indented of two points upwards each point double barbed throughout issuing in base a pile double barbed throughout all counterchanged''. The arms of Alaric John Martin Woodrow show an example of ''barry dancetty each point double barbed'', used to represent a line of fir trees as a play on the surname. The arms of the Free State in

In ''wavy crested'' the waves appear like pointed breakers.

Engrailed and invected
![Blason duche fr Berry (moderne)](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8e/Blason_duche_fr_Berry_%28moderne%29.svg)
These lines consist of a series of circular arcs curving in the same direction, meeting at angles, forming points outward (''engrailed'') or inward (''invected''). When these terms are applied to a partition rather than to an ordinary, the first part of the field is the "interior".

If gaps face gaps, the term ''bretessé'' is used. There is at least one emblazonment suggesting that the orle is only embattled on its outer edge.

A line ''embattled grady'' or ''battled embattled'' consists of series of two or three steps, as if each

The South African
Bureau of Heraldry has developed the line of partition ''serpentine'' (which has also been called "''ondoyant''"), which is rather like wavy, but with only one "wave", one complete cycle of a sine wave; the serpentine in the arms of the Mtubatuba Primary School is defined as "dexter to chief and sinister to base". (Similar is the German "" (snake-wise).) It has also developed the uniquely South-African lines of division (which can also form the ends of a charge) ''nowy of a Cape Town gable'' (now called just ''nowy gabled''),
and ''nowy of an Indian cupola''. Similarly, the fess line in the arms of the Council for Social and Associated Workers is ''nowy of a trimount inverted'', the fess in the arms of Mossel Bay is ''nowy of two Karoo gable houses'', the chief in the arms of the Lenasia South-East Management Committee is ''nowy of an Indian cupola'', the chief in the arms of the Genealogical Society of South Africa is ''double nowy gably'' and that of Frederick Brownell is ''gably of three''. The arms of the Reyneke Bond (i.e. Reyneke Family Association) are ''Per fess, in each flank double nowy fitchy to base, Azure and Or, a lion rampant per fess of the second and Gules, a chief Or''. The plain chief identifies these as the arms of a family association. The arms of Itsokolele, South Africa include ''a chief double fitchy inverted''.
''Broad fitchy couped'' is a line of South-African origin similar in appearance to a mine-dump or escartelly with sloping sides.
Chevrons can be topped with a fleur-de-lys, and ordinaries with non-straight edges (particularly if they are dancetty or engrailed) can have the points topped with demi fleurs-de-lys. It has sometimes been said that in some reference works flory-counter-flory (and flory) is treated like a line of partition, even though strictly speaking it is not – though it has been used for centuries that way in the royal arms of Scotland blazoning the double tressure (Public Register of Arms, Lyon Court, Edinburgh) and used by the College of arms in blazoning coats like that of Sutherland of Dunstanburgh Castle (Gules, a chevron flory-counterflory between in chief three mullets and in base a lymphad all or) and is used by the South African Bureau of Heraldry blazoning the coat of Huis Tankotie of the University of Pretoria (Per fess, flory counter-flory, Argent and Azure, in base within the flower an annulet Sable; a bordure counterchanged) and Emmanuel-Opleidingsentrum in the South African Bureau of Heraldry's online database. (Flory is sometimes varied with other shapes than the fleur-de-lys, when it is blazoned as ''flory of''.)
