- tenne

TENNE. The same as Tawny. It is by some heralds called Brush ; and in engraving, it is expressed by diagonal lines drawn from sinister chief points, and traversed by horizontal ones. P. 1. (ELVN)

tenne

оранжевый (редко встречается, но используется, по меньшей мере в двух коммунальных гербах). Данный термин, возможно, происходит от Кельтского Вретонского — дуб (? сравните с англ. желтовато-коричневый, дубленый, хотя слово tannenbaum в нем. означает пихту, ель, а не дуб). tenny, tawny (rare, but used in at least two communal arms). The word is perhaps derived from the Celtic Breton tann, oak tree (?cp Eng. tanned; although the word tannenbaum in German has the meaning of fir, not oak, tree). /Frenchgloss/

(ten'-nay) A tincture of a bright brown, which is considered to represent orange color. This color is almost unknown in English heraldry. In engraving it is represented by diagonal lines from sinister to dexter, traversed by horizontal ones — a compound of purpure and azure.
