Bloemfontein 03
- Title
- Bloemfontein 03
- Description
- Bloemfontein 03 is a descriptive sign that is clearly distinct from other variants (lexical variation). It is the same as the sign for ROSE, which references Bloemfontein’s colloquial name of City of Roses, which indicates a possible loan sign from spoken language. This variant includes mouthing of ‘Bloemfontein’. The movement is the same as Free State 01. This could possibly indicate a derivation between the two signs, as Bloemfontein is the capital of the Free State province.In the case of Bloemfontein there are two lexical variations: one with the hand resembling a flower (Bloemfontein 03) and the OB variation. Then, the OB variation itself has three phonological variations (Bloemfontein 01, Bloemfontein 06 and Bloemfontein 07). Additionally, there is a morphological variation that combines both lexical variations (Bloemfontein 13).
