[Origami] Terminologi question
When I fold corner to corner I make a diagonal fold and I have created a diagonal crease. When instructing I can tell them to fold corners to corners, or to make the diagonals. When I fold side to side I make a book fold and I have created a ... what? When instructing I can tell them to fold sides to sides, or to make the ... what? Certainly not the books :-) When making each of these steps, I get the diagonal cross and the ... what ... cross? In Danish I call them “diagonalfolder” and “tværfolder”, where “tværs” means across, and I get a “diagonalkryds” and a “tværkryds” where “kryds” means cross. That is, I do not know, in English, the name of the crease that goes from the centre of one edge to the centre of the opposite edge. And I do not know the name of the cross made from two of those creases. I hope somebody can clear up this terminology for me. Best regards, Hans Hans Dybkjær papirfoldning.dk Society: foldning.dk

Hello, Hans! When I teach my classes at my local library, I use the following terminology: 1) Two Diagonal Folds results in an "X" on the opened-up square. I tell my students "fold the paper in half Diagonally, then Open, Rotate, and Repeat". And, of course, I'm showing them at the same time. 2) Two Book Folds results in a Cross on the opened-up square. I tell my students "fold the paper in half Side-to-Side (this maneuver is usually called a Book Fold), then Open, Rotate, and Repeat". And, of course, I'm showing them at the same time. - I actually only rarely mention the "X" or the "Cross". It doesn't seem relevant to me, and since I'm always doing the folding with them, they just look at my paper and see if theirs looks like mine, OK! My intent is more to have them learn the Fold, and the name for the Fold. . from Chila /// -- Chilagami - I think, therefore I fold; I fold, therefore I am Folding for Fun in Northern Arizona, USA chilag...@gmail.com Chila's Origami World (COW!) on Facebook ---

Hi Hans, In many cases the terms I have personally used for these folds are math terms: A *plus sign* (or an addition sign) for two perpendicular creases at the center that are parallel to the edge. An X or multiplication sign for the diagonal folds. Regards, Leyla
Re: [Origami] Terminologi question
Hello Hans When you make one book fold from a square the result is a shape that is called a 'rectangle'. I'm not sure if there is a specific name for the cross that is formed on the square after making two book folds, sorry.I hope this helps.

Re: [Origami] Terminologi question
Book folding will result in a valley or a mountain. Depends on the view point. Diagonal folds will make a "cross-section" or an intersection. Think four roads meeting at a junction.

I'm with Leyla,I say the crease looks like a "plus sign" or like the "letter X".Diana
