in lozenge
a. A plane rectilineal figure, having four equal sides and two acute and two obtuse angles; a rhomb, ‘diamond’. In Heraldry, such a figure used as a bearing, less elongated than the fusil n.1, and placed with its longer axis vertical. †in lozenge = lozengy adj. grand lozenge, †lozenge in point: a lozenge the angles of which touch the sides of the shield. lozenges in cross: four or more lozenges disposed so as to form a cross.Guillim's definition (quot. 1632) would require that the acute angles should be of 60°; but the rule is not strictly followed by heraldic draughtsmen.
