A ged is a heraldic term for the fish known in English as a pike.[1][2] It is often used in "canting" coats; that is, using coats of arms to make a pun on the last name of the bearer, one of his titles, a nickname, or the name of his estate. The word ged is derived from the Old Norse Script error: No such module "Lang". (spike). The Norse word is the origin of the terms for pike in the modern North Germanic languages: Template:Langx, Template:Langx, Template:Langx, and the Faroese and Template:Langx.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
