Pluck position

Take for example the motion of a string plucked one-fifth of the distance from the end.

The motion can be thought of as two pulses moving in opposite directions (see the dashed line).
The resulting motion consists of two bends, one moving clockwise and the other counterclockwise around a parallelogram.
