CYMA

CYMA(κῦμα), in architecture, an ogee, a wave-shaped moulding, consisting of two curves, the one concave and the other convex. There were two forms, the cyma recta, which was concave above and convex below, thus, , and the cyma reversa, which was convex above and concave below, thus, . The diminutive cymatium or cumatium (κυμάτιον) is the more common name. The original form of the cymatium was, however, a simple hollow (the cavetto), thus . This was called the cymatium Doricum, and the other the cymatium Lesbicum.(Aesch. Fr. 70, ed.
