A model for a symbiotic system is presented which is not spherically symmetrical. The system consists of a cool, mass losing giant and a hot star. The stellar wind from the cool star is radiatively ionized by the hot companion, and the resulting nebular lines are emitted mainly close to the cool star. Due to the elliptical orbit, the line fluxes change with time because of the varying separation of the stars. The line profiles vary from symmetrical to asymmetrical, depending on the angle between the line of sight and the axis of symmetry. The calculated line profiles are compared with observed UV lines of the symbiotic star HBV 475.
