video of Val trying to do rocking- ha ;-))

I think I like the one above the head more, even though the one with the shoulder line says the same thing.

Well...that is great that we understand each other now...it shows how valuable it is, that we can share videos with each other now...and I have increased the memory now, so there should be no problem posting videos to the SW List...

The differences between the two kinds of rocking or tilting motion was important to others, when writing. That is why the two ways of writing developed, was because we need to be able to differentiate between the small and the larger tilts or rocking motions...

I agree with you that it may not be necessary to write so much detail because the smaller rocking motion probably could be assumed as a part of the movement and still the sign would be understood...but both your writings here look good to me, and for me, I do read them as small and large...

Thanks for this great discussion -

Val ;-)
