WHEN READING OR WRITING IN ANY LANGUAGE THERE ARE ONLY TWO PRINCIPLE DIRCETIONS IN WHICH ONE MAY GO, LATERAL (CROSSWISE OR ACROSS) AND/OR VERTICAL (UP AND DOWN). ALL OTHER MOVEMENTS IN ANY OTHER DIRECTION ARE JUST VARYING DEGREES OF THE MAIN TWO. WHEN READING THE MEANING OF THE CRESCENT AND STAR, NO MATTER FROM WHICH DIRECTION ONE READS,THE MOON IS ALWAYS FIRST AND IS READ IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER: FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, MOON AND STAR (3 ; FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, MOON AND STAR YX); FROM TOP DOWN, MOON AND STAR R 3 FROM BOTTOM UP, HOOON AND STAR YS . LATIN AND ITS MANY DIALECTS ARE READ FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. ARABIC, HEBREW AND SANSKRIT ARE READ FROM RIGHT TO LEFT. JAPANESE AND CHINESE ARE READ. FROM TOP DOWN.
