When the shield is divided by both bendwise and bendwise-sinister lines, creating a field of lozenges coloured like a chessboard, the result is ''lozengy''.{{efn|Generally lozengy is depicted with the lozenges narrower in width than would be ''bendy bendy-sinister'', which at least in theory would be a different field.}} A field lozengy must be distinguished from an ordinary such as a bend which is blazoned of one tincture and called ''lozengy''; this means that the ordinary is entirely composed of lozenges, touching at their obtuse corners. Such arrangement is better blazoned as ''lozenges bendwise''. {{efn|The [[royal arms of Bavaria]] have occasionally been blazoned as ''lozengy fesswise''; that is, with the narrower axis of the component lozenges vertically rather than horizontally oriented. Similarly, [[Erding (district)|Landkreis Erding]] adopted arms with a chief ''bendy lozengy'',<ref>{{cite web |url= http://flagspot.net/flags/de-by-ed.html |title=Erding County (Germany) |website=Flags of the World}}</ref> and the arms of the Crofts of [[Dalton-in-Furness]], [[Lancashire]], [[England]] are ''Bendy lozengy argent and sable''.<ref>{{harvp| Burke|1884|page=[https://archive.org/details/generalarmoryofe00burk/page/244 245] }}</ref>}} In ''paly bendy'', the bendwise lines are supposed to be less acute than in plain lozengy.<ref>{{harvp|Parker|Gough|1894|p=[https://archive.org/details/aglossarytermsu08parkgoog/page/n417 384]}}</ref>

Part of the field of the arms of the 544th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group of the United States Air Force is ''lozengy in perspective''.<ref>{{cite web |publisher=Institute of Heraldry, United States Army |title=544th Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissaince Group |url= http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Catalog/Heraldry.aspx?HeraldryId=11455&CategoryId=6814&grp=1&menu=Uniformed%20Services |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20161116212839/http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Catalog/Heraldry.aspx?HeraldryId=11455&CategoryId=6814&grp=1&menu=Uniformed%20Services |archive-date=November 16, 2016}}</ref>

A field ''fusilly'' can be very difficult to distinguish from a field lozengy;{{efn|In early days{{when|date=September 2019}} no clear distinction was made between lozenges and fusils}} the fusil is supposed to be proportionately narrower than the lozenge, and the bendwise and bendwise-sinister lines are therefore more steeply sloped.

A field ''masculy'' is composed entirely of [[mascle]]s; that is, lozenges pierced with a lozenge shape – this creates a solid fretwork surface and is to be distinguished from a field ''fretty''.

An extremely rare, possibly unique example of a field ''rustré'' - [[Tincture (heraldry)#Counterchanging and countercolouring|counterchanged]] [[Lozenge (heraldry)|rustres]] - occurs in Canadian heraldry in the arms of R.C.
