The main features of the spectral evolution of novae consist of: 1. An overall increase in absorption line velocities and emission line widths as a function of time past maximum light. 2. The subsequent appearance of an absorption line system at roughly twice the velocity of the previous absorption line system. 3. Some absorption line systems apparently consist of multiple absorption components at different velocities.
