| Dutch ..... Doorlopend ornament dat bestaat uit een reeks kronkelende lijnen, die hoekig of afgerond kunnen zijn. De naam is afgeleid van de rivier de Meander in Turkije (het oude Klein-Azië), die net als het ornament een sterk kronkelend verloop kent. |
| Spanish ..... Úsese para ornamentos corridos consistentes de líneas serpenteantes ininterrumpidas, ya sea angulares o curvas. |
