Val, thank you for your explanation. Now I see the solution! No additional symbol is to be added to the IMWA!

    Is there in the IMWA a symbol for opening eyes? I mean an eye symbol on the face to use with a sign for WAKE-UP.


  In this diagram, look at the second sign down from the top, in the second column...That is the ASL sign for WAKE UP, and the eyes do open. Notice that I did not write the open-eye-movement, but just showed the beginning position of the eyes (closed), and then the next sign has eyegaze up-diagonal, so clearly the eyes did open between the two signs...so I assumed the reader would know the eyes opened...that is how we have gotten around not having an eye-open-movement symbol before...do you feel I should add one to the IMWA?...
