Ah,good point.
As per recent correspondence, given the choice of " "Thorny, Dovetail indented or even Maltesy,", Darrel Kennedy of the Canadian Heraldry Authority suggested "Dovetailed Indented" as the most descriptive and useful for an artist. Not sure how they'd know to indent the dovetailing rather than alternate dovetail and indent segments (perhaps that would be indented AND dovetailed?), but sounds otherwise clear. I certainly like the abstraction inherent in that as well. I'm still intrigued by "wattled" though.
