However, this solution is more susceptible to clamshelling, as the land length is particularly large at the centre.

The claviform comprises a vertical line with a bulge at one side; but unlike the buttocks on the stylized females, the bulge is usually on the middle or the upper half of the 'sign'! It has been suggested that the 'upper bulge' on a claviform instead represents breasts, but this is based on supposedly stylized statuettes from Dolni Vestonice and elsewhere, comprising a rod with two little lumps near the top, and thus on analogies with sites even further away in space and time from the claviforms.

A man who is conscious of having an ill character, cannot justly be angry with those who neglect and slight him.

Some argue that having impedance mismatch is difficult for programming intensive applications.
