Bloemfontein 13
- Title
- Bloemfontein 13
- Description
- Bloemfontein 13 is a descriptive sign that starts with the handshape O. This O is a shortened reference to the previous number plate for Bloemfontein, which started with OB. The handshape transitions into a handshape similar to the sign for ROSE, drawing on Bloemfontein’s colloquial name of City of Roses (similar to Bloemfontein 03), which indicates a possible loan sign from spoken language.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).
