Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 朝相反的方向換行的書寫過程,一行是由左寫到右,下一行則是由右寫到左,行中的文字從右邊開始寫起,如鏡像般左右相反的;此種書寫方式可見於以古希臘語與其他語言所寫成的各式古代銘文。隱喻式地用於分析敘述性繪畫,以指涉畫中景致由右到左,然後又左到右的排列配置。 
Dutch ..... Het schrijven van opeenvolgende regels in tegengestelde richting, om beurten van links naar rechts en van rechts naar links, waarbij de letters van de regels die rechts beginnen gespiegeld worden geschreven. Aangetroffen in verschillende oude geschriften in het Grieks en andere talen. Wordt metaforisch gebruikt bij de analyse van verhalende schilderingen, als verwijzing naar compositie die eerst van rechts naar links en vervolgens van links naar rechts is geplaatst. 
Spanish ..... Proceso de escribir líneas alternas en las direcciones opuestas, empezando en el mismo lado que ha terminado la anterior. Encontrado en varias inscripciones antiguas en griego y otros idiomas. Utilizado metafóricamente en análisis de la pintura narrativa referida a la disposición de las escenas.
