If I remember correctly, a pellet is sable.

I remember a roudel sable as being an ogress.

gouttes de larmes are argent; gouttes d'huile are vert.

And gouttes de sangre(?) are gules. I remember this one from the arms I designed once:

Gules a cock courant(?) or couped at the neck. A chief of the second gouttes de sangre. Motto: Cadit caelum.

I probably got that whole emblazoning all screwed up.
