I am excited by Charlotte Wile’s integrative thinking about symbols for shape and form illustrated by her family tree-type flow chart posted December 3, 2001 in the Body Configurations Thread. I believe it is a big step toward integrating Hackney’s shape lexicon with Guest’s body shape sign. I have been using a sign very similar to Charlotte’s sign for ‘any still form’ for about 4 years. I like it better without the ‘any,’ as shown below.
