Sub-variants (3)

·     A. Fancier:

o Indentation in the middle of the top.

o Upside-down feeler hanging from the indentation with protector.

o Dot at the bottom of protector with squiggly line.

·     B. Simpler:

o No indentation in the middle of the top.

o “Grip” or “LEM” on the inside of the middle of the top (instead of the feeler, protector, dot, and squiggly line).

·     C. Mix:

o Indentation on the top.

o No dot and squiggly line.

o Inward-curving, upside-down V in the middle of the bottom.

o Do not confuse this with BAAK when the latter is written with the long-axis vertical:
