!todo fix cross humetty synonym to be cross couped !draw a roll of 3 columns Cendree, a cross couped Vert then Cendree, a cross humetty Gules // this is wrong then Cendree, a greek cross Vert // Parker and Elvin both term a cross that has been couped a cross humetty // Elvin defines a Greek Cross as only "Has its four limbs all of equal length" (which is vague) // Neither Parker or Elvin appear to have illustrations for greek cross

Left to right:

  1. a cross couped
  2. a cross humetty
  3. a Greek cross

Fixed the hummetty error. I think you are right, there isn't a separate "Greek Cross", it is just a Cross Couped according to the discussion here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Royal_Arms_of_Greece_(blue_cross).svg, I'll remove it as it just causes confusion.
