Dans le blason français, le lion est ordinairement figuré «rampant», c'est-à-dire en position verticale, reposant sur une de ses pattes arrière, les trois autres pattes levées. Il est représenté de profil, tourné vers le côté gauche. Parce qu'il s'agit de la position ordinaire, l'usage veut que l'on ne la précise pas dans le blasonnement. 3, record 2, French, - lion

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 DEF
An elementary and unschooled way of propelling oneself in the water : imperfect prone position, head out of the water facing straight ahead, arms alternately and nervously moving forward and backward under the water, away from the body and without a complete extension forward nor a full traction and pull along the body backward, legs beating in a bending-and-unbending motion of the knees rather than in an effective beat of the extended legs on the surface of the water. 2, record 3, English, - dog%20paddle
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The unschooled way a human propels himself through the water. Children’s paddling is often more chaotic, with the arms alternately clawing at the water to move forward; breathing is irregular, legs thrashing and inconsistent. A more mature dog paddle can be rhythmic and steady, but the arms never go out of the water and the head is never submerged. Thus the stroke closely resembles a dog moving through the water. 3, record 3, English, - dog%20paddle
