different handpositions (parallel to the floor, parallel to the wall) , you
notice that I use Mundbilder to support the reader to identiy the exact term
that I have in mind - "Geld" is a typical example that there are not two many
guesses possible at least in DGS (money (Geld), how much?, ..)
Nevertheless it is up to future experiences how much we will/should include
Mundbilder. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

spelling. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My name is Katrien Van Mulders and I am a researcher of the
Flemish Sign Language at the university of Ghent. Me and my co-worker
Kristof De Weerdt would like to ask you two questions :</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- We have some trouble with 'sign-writing' the sign for Scotland. In
this sign only the elbow moves up and down (referring to the movement made by
the arm when playing a bag-pipe) and we have no idea how we should put
that into sign-writing. Can you help us?
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- In the Flemish sign for 'money', the forefinger and the thumb rub
against eachother quickly several times, while the other fingers stay
'closed'. How do you put the rubbing of those two fingers into
sign-writing?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Katrien</DIV></DIV></DIV>
