3.2: DIAMONDS
A diamond isn't a line, but it is a group of four with two adjacent centers. For this reason, Slip and Slither are considered legitimate from diamonds. The centers of the diamond do the appropriate action with each other.If there are two adjacent diamonds, the call Slip or Slither still means that the centers of each diamond do the action with each other.

In contrast, a call like Centers Slip addresses the centers as a group (typically forming a wave), and applies Slip to that group. So in the case of ordinary twin diamonds, Centers Slip means that the very center two should trade.

Swing and Slide don't apply to diamonds, since the ends (points) don't have an adjacent center with whom they can work. (But these calls can be applied to the center wave of twin diamonds, if the caller says something like "Centers Slide").
