Type 3 Cross-Shifts

A Cross-Shift combines a shift and a dash.

A Cross-Shift combines a shift and a dash. Since a dash has further to travel, it moves slightly faster. To understand Cross-Shifts, let’s break one down into parts:

Hand pictograph, beta (hands together). Blue hand static hold at south; Red hand static hold at south.Hand pictograph. Blue hand static hold at center; Red hand static hold at southeast.Hand pictograph, gamma (right angle). Blue hand static hold at north; Red hand static hold at east.Hand pictograph, beta (hands together) to gamma (right angle). Blue hand dash south to north; Red hand float south to east.

And this one shows beta → gamma:

Hand pictograph, alpha (hands opposite). Blue hand static hold at south; Red hand static hold at north.Hand pictograph, alpha (hands opposite) to gamma (right angle). Blue hand dash south to north; Red hand float north to east.Hand pictograph, gamma (right angle) to alpha (hands opposite). Blue hand float north to east; Red hand dash east to west.Hand pictograph, alpha (hands opposite) to gamma (right angle). Blue hand dash east to west; Red hand float west to north.Hand pictograph, gamma (right angle) to alpha (hands opposite). Blue hand float west to north; Red hand dash north to south.Hand pictograph, alpha (hands opposite) to gamma (right angle). Blue hand dash north to south; Red hand float south to west.Hand pictograph, gamma (right angle) to alpha (hands opposite). Blue hand float south to west; Red hand dash west to east.Hand pictograph, alpha (hands opposite) to gamma (right angle). Blue hand dash west to east; Red hand float east to south.Hand pictograph, gamma (right angle) to alpha (hands opposite). Blue hand float east to south; Red hand dash south to north.

Tech nerds will notice these Cross-Shifts create Zan’s Diamond variations. Neat!
