Sub-variants (2)

·     A. Full:

o Top: Two circles – touching or non-touching, each circle:

§ Can have a dotted reinforcement inside the perimeter.

§ Can have either a dot or a crescent (tips pointing upwards) in the centre.

§ Can itself be made up of touching dots.

Not every combination is valid – for example, a crescent in the centre tends to be inside a single circle, not to have a “fancy” outer border.

§ Has a pair of feelers – feelers can be:

·       Standard left and right feelers (scrolls).

·       “Pax” feelers (curving upwards).

§ Standard feelers tend to have protectors while “pax” feelers don’t.

o Bottom: below the two circles, a single boulder outline:

§ With a U-indentation in the middle of the top (between the two circles).

§ Walls, ceiling, floor tend to be bolded - optionally even with a spine.

§ Interior is cross-hatched.

·     B. Reduced: half of full.
