vairy/variegated Explanation: veiro: HERÁLD vairy. https://michaelis.uol.com.br/moderno-ingles/busca/portugues-... veiro: sm. 1. Her. Guarnição metálica dos brasões, formada de pequenas peças azuis e prateadas que se encaixam de forma alternada. (Aulete Digital) Vair (/vɛər/; from Latin varius "variegated"), originating as a processed form of squirrel fur, gave its name to a set of different patterns used in heraldry. Heraldic vair represents a kind of fur common in the Middle Ages, made from pieces of the greyish-blue backs of squirrels sewn together with pieces of the animals' white underbellies. Vair is the second-most common fur in heraldry, after ermine. (...) [The squirrel in question] was sewn together in alternating cup-shaped pieces of back and belly fur, resulting in a pattern of grey-blue and grey-white which, when simplified in heraldic drawing and painting, became blue and white in alternating pieces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vair variegate: (v) alter in appearance, especially by adding different colors. ("Oxford Languages Dictionary" and Google) I couldn't find a single example with "vairy boiler" (although this seems to be a more precise translation). I suggest "variegated" as a second choice. variegated boiler: https://www.google.com/search?q="variegated boiler" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2023-12-21 14:14:11 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Got it.
