The vertical line that is between the sections of the sign in number 6, is called a Hyphen. We use hypens in English, for example, in the word re-try...it is a little line between sections of a word...some words in English require hypens and others do not...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>So the Hyphen Line in SignWriting is located in the Punctuation Symbols. It is a thin single line that divides sections of one sign. And it can be written either horizontally or vertically...in the attached you can see number 6 and 7...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>And that was why I was concerned for mis-readings of the underlining for proper names, because I was afraid it might get confused with either shoulder lines, or possibly the Hyphen Line...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>And the 8th example in the attached is another possible writing...showing two pressing motions without using the Wrist-Axial movement arrows...The use of the Wrist arrows is not wrong, but it is a rare usage...and I can certainly see how you could mis-read it, Stefan...so if we could eliminate those arrows but create a standard for two pressings, to be written like number 8, then we could simplify the writing...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Your thoughts?...</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><SPAN><IMG src="cid:85E03955-FB19-4688-A48E-BE2978F3E2E8@local"></SPAN></DIV></BODY></HTML>
