Great House questions : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

What is the Redoran symbol: a shalk or a scarab?
What's the insect depicted in Dagoth's symbol? I assume it's a scarab - I would think it more fitting for Dagoth to have scarab imagery than Redoran.
Brand-Shei's father supposedly bore the name "Tenvanni". Do we assume this is a misspelling? If so, weren't the Telvanni family long-dead? Is he heir to his family name, or to Great House Telvanni itself? The latter doesn't make sense - Great House leadership has never been hereditary.
The Dwemer were respected as a Great House themselves. Was there a term for that (an "unofficial" Great House)? I vaguely remember there being one.
