Thank you, Valerie,

I agree with you on these spellings. I first thought 'but how would we write 
tense movement, if we use the tense marker this way?', but then I realised 
that for movements that feels tense, it is the hands and maybe the face/ 
mouth that is tense, and the marker will go there. So a tense marker (or 
two, as I would prefer in this instance) at the end of an arrow will show 
the abrupt stopping just fine.

Thank you for showing me,

Ingvild
