For the Enneper surface, I think $\gamma_1$ would coincide with it. I phrased the question like this because I thought it might be easier to exclude this extreme case. So for example, to say that $\gamma_2$ cannot be the graph of $x_1 \mapsto \sqrt{-x_1}$. | |

If you intersect with the right tangent plane you'll get two straight lines (usually this is the xy plane through the origin) | |
