	Table of Contents and Excerpt, Merritt, Etruscan and Republican Roman Mouldings
		Although the two groups of Greek peoples, the Dorians and Ionians, developed different types of mouldings (the Ionic the ovolo, cyma reversa, cyma recta, scotia, and the Doric the hawksbeak, cyma recta), the principle of development was the same in both.
		The cyma recta was not used as a base moulding in Greek architecture, with one or two rare exceptions, even as the oval was never used as a base moulding in Greek architecture.
		Using the fundamental convex half round and concave cavetto, Ionians developed the ovolo from the half round, and the cyma reversa from the ovolo.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.05.05
		The evidence is presented in six categories: Funerary Monuments, Etruscan Round, Cyma Reversa, Cyma Recta, Republican Orders, and Terracotta (a new addition), each with a general discussion, observations, and catalogue entries.
		When the Etruscan crown did project (whether to balance the profile of the base or to protect the vertical plane of the podium), that projection and the transition from vertical to horizontal was softened by the use of the cyma reversa.
		Another example is comparing crowns from Orvietto, be they funerary monuments, podia, or altars and regardless of whether they are Etruscan round, cyma reversa or cyma recta.

	Instructions for Use of Classical Moldings for the Designer
		The CYMA RECTA, from the Greek words for "wave" and "upright," is concave above and convex below.
		Were we to reverse this arrangement, however, and situate the protruding portion above the hollow, then we would discover the aptly-named CYMA REVERSA.
		The OVOLO, ECHINUS, and CYMA REVERSA, on the other hand, suggest the ability to SUPPORT precisely because their protruding section endows them with enough mass to hold up whatever is placed on top of them.

		The reader -- especially a reader who is not well versed in technical terminology -- has much to sort out in sentences such as that on p.
		33): "This [temple] consisted of a base step with a pronounced offset, a base molding of a fine, slightly flattened, cyma recta above a high step, a plain die with wide drafted margins, and a crown molding of cyma reversa profile."
		Concern for the etymologies of place names and religious terms is one of the great strengths of the book; nonetheless, I find room for differences of opinion in some of the derivations which Richardson proposes.
