      Viure, Wiure, or Wyer. These terms, according to several authorities, signify a very narrow fillet, generally nebuly, which may be placed in bend, in fess, or otherwise. We can point to but one instance of such a bearing, viz. the arms of Haidon, or Haydon, of Devon: argent , three bars gemels azure , on a chief gules a viure or. This is probably nothing but a wide line nebuly.
