The arms is not violating the rule of tincture, since the dove is not argent (silver) but blazoned as of the colour proper, i.e. it has the colour it would have in nature, in this case white.
Ore condition Ore condition In mathematics, especially in the area of algebra known as ring theory, the Ore condition is a condition introduced by Øystein Ore, in connection with the question of extending beyond commutative rings the construction of a field of fractions, or more generally localization of a ring. The "right Ore condition" for a multiplicative subset "S" of a ring "R" is that for and , the intersection . A (non-commutative) integral domain for which the set of non-zero elements satisfies the right Ore condition is called a right Ore domain. The left case is defined similarly. The goal is
