I can find blazons which include tirrets, but "manacles" seems a poor definition since they are often not around human hands but rather e.g. unicorns' shoulders (necks?). Old reference works opaquely define this as a "manacle or swivel", although those seem to be two rather different things. Old spellings include tirets, turret(s), tyrritts, turettes, turrettes, tourettes; these overlap with spellings of turrets and in some cases it is not obvious which is meant. - -sche (discuss) 04:28, 4 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
