Thanks a lot Rodrigo for you contribution!

I have merged almost all new symbols to development snapshot, but I have also some doubts about how some symbols should be called.

For example, until now, there was a "disk" symbol in therion (or in english it is called sometimes also shield). But it is something completely different (from morphological point of view) as a disc on stalactite. Here in Slovakia we call it like "water level flowstone" - but it would be complicated to name for this symbol. So is the "disc-stalactite" OK in English?

Another symbol:
point plus|minus|plus-minus
currently, for "plus" and "minus" there is:
point height -value +
point height -value -
and there is no symbol for point +-. So I suggest to add "point height -value +-" and make a circle version of point height.

Do some of you have any other suggestions?

I just noticed yesterday’s development update.

An amazing effort Rodrigo, adding all of those new symbols.  They will be much appreciated I am sure – I can already think of existing maps of mine that I might update as a result.

 

I don’t want to be too picky, but I wonder about the use of plural ‘s’ in for some of the symbol names.  I have attached a screenshot of the Therion Book page 24.

I think symbols such as ‘discs-pillars’ should instead be named ‘disc-pillars’.

But of course English being English there are exceptions to the pattern, such as ‘pillars-with-curtains’ and ‘stalactites-stalagmites’ which are probably OK.
