Could You Please Help Me With Spin Names

[Ziggy]

I put this on FSUniverse already but no answers yet. People I need help! :)

I started to write Ladies Qualifying Review (Euros) but I have problems with it since I don't know the names of all spins. These two are a particular problem:

1a. Skater is standing upright, his leg is straight and he is holding it in his hand extending it so that the foot is before the face.

1b. Similar spin but the leg isn't fully extended and on the face level. It is bent and is around belly level.

2. Pseudo-biellmann. A spin where skater doesn't fully put his leg up behind his head so that it would create an arch. It is just held in his hand and extended behind him. For example Maria B. was doing it and loads of Men&Ladies now are (like Vika for example).

If I will have any more trouble I'll post more later.
Hope someone can help me.

Is this the same spin as Sasha Cohen did in her SP in the Olympics (combination spin)? Where she was upright and her free leg was lifted up vertical in front of her. I think it's called Y-spin. I know that the spins where the skater lifts their free leg up to the side of them is called a Y-spin (Michelle Kwan and Sarah Hughes both do them), but I don't know if it has a different name when the free leg is in front. I don't think it does.

1b. Similar spin but the leg isn't fully extended and on the face level. It is bent and is around belly level.

I can't picture this at all. Is the skater standing completely upright, or is their spinning leg bent? How much of a bend is in the free leg? (Just a bit? 90 degrees?) Who does it?

I think I know the one you mean. Is this it?

If so, it's called a catch-foot camel. I think some people call it a half-Biellmann too.
