      A new method of using incompatible deflections to select the minimal moment modes is attempted. A square 4-node and a square semiLoof plate elements are derived. They are both stable and not overflexible. To generalize the elements for distorted geometry, three different local coordinates are employed. Unexpectedly, the skew coordinates formed by the covariant base vectors of the natural coordinates are least desirable.
