<DIV>Query on this sign. Does the index finger close (like making an ASL x) or is it simply a point in the air. If a point in the air, it should be a pressure mark rather than a point. A pressure implies an abrupt stop but the handshape doesn't change.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The spot is specific to closing the index finger to a hook like "question" (ASL). <IMG alt=question src="http://signbank.org/signpuddle/sgn-US/dict/sl/question.png" align=middle border=0> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here is "point" to compare. <IMG alt=point src="http://signbank.org/signpuddle/sgn-US/dict/sl/point.png" align=middle border=0> The primary hand stops short of actually touching the second hand. I think you want the "tilde" to imply that point.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Valerie, what do you think? With things like "dos puntos" like co-ordinate in some spellings, how would you put the two points, or the o-dot in Swedish, etc.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I have also a problem with writing '¯'. It is just a Z with a spot above it. And we sign this so as if we were writing the character with a finger in the air. So, I have come up with such a sign: <IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:00c601c52e05$cd218f50$858a1f53@LUCIA" align=baseline border=0>.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I wanted also to write the S we sign in PJM but I could not find any appropriate hand position in the SignMaker diagram. We sign the S as on the attached pic (I sign with my left hand but write signs down as if they were signed with the right hand).</FONT></DIV>
