POLAND... Antarktyda again, plus 10 hand issues...

[Charles Butler]

How's this?  It sort of sidesteps the issue, but the hands don't collide with each other.  It's expressive, but from above.

Hello Lucyna and Charles -
Thank you for the photo. That helps a lot. In your original word 
description, Lucyna, you said that the hands then move back. Do you 
really mean that? I believe you mean forward, don't you? If they move 
back, then they would finish touching your throat or shoulders?

Now, in regards to the palm facing, Charles, actually there will be 
no break in either handshape, since both are parallel with the wall 
plane. Nothing is parallel to the floor that I can see...

I would suggest waiting on this sign until I can standardize the use 
of the 10 hand symbol in the IMWA...it is creating problems in the 
computer program ID numbers and I am concerned about it...so let's 
wait until I get the 10 hand in the IMWA resolved...There was a 
reason, why I did not jump and change that symbol - the 10 hand is 
used in headers, representing a whole group of symbols...the 10 hand 
group...and so I am trying to make it possible to fix the symbol 
without all of us being required to re-enter all signs that use that 
symbol in SignPuddle...The change is also creating problems in the 
SignBank program, when we print the headers for handshapes in 
dictionaries sorted by sss...so we may have to re-do every sign that 
uses that handshape, and if so, then let's wait on writing this one! 
I hope to resolve it soon...Val ;-)
