Portuguese term (edited):
o entrela�ado
Selected
entwined, entwinement
I think it would be best if you name the object that's "entwined" or "intertwined" - If you have seen the escudo then you can determine what the entwined thing is.... However, my Microsoft Bookshelf version of the AHD does give the noun forms entwinement and intertwinement. They are virtually synonymous. Another possibility in this specific case might be "the entwined [or intertwined] element" which refers to an element of a design.

braid
Without knowing what part of the emblem you're referring to, it's difficult to answer the question. At the bottom there are two BRAIDS.

Thanks, Jane! With your inspiration, I was able to find a few examples in which "braid" is actually used in a technical description of a crest.
