[Callers] Yearn?

Bob Isaacs and Chris Weiler collaborated on a dance that has the movement you describe below. The call is "double slice left" or "chevron". The dance is a single progression, however (see below). I usually use "yearn" to mean going forward on the left diagonal with your partner toward your next neighbors, and then backing up straight across from these neighbors, so a single progression. It is a useful alternate to "circle on the left diagonal with new neighbors" to progress in Becket formation. But I like your explanation of why it should be called "yearn" for double progression! It will be interesting to hear what other callers use for these moves.
