One of the purposes of the question was to explore the issue and
determine if there are any areas that may need further symbols. It's
an exploratory process.<br>

<div>....For instance, the following is an entry in an english
dictionary for "pronunciation." How could this be done in SignWriting?<br>
<br>
Main Entry: <b>pro·nun·ci·a·tion</b> <br>
Pronunciation: <tt>pr&-"n&n(t)-sE-'A-sh&n <i>also </i>÷-"naun(t)-</tt><br>
Function: <i>noun</i><br>
Etymology: Middle English <i>pronunciacion, </i>from Middle French <i>prononciation,
</i>from Latin <i>pronuntiation-, pronuntiatio, </i>from <i>pronuntiare</i><br>
<b>:</b> the act or manner of pronouncing something<br>
- <b>pro·nun·ci·a·tion·al</b> /<tt>-shn&l, -sh&-n<sup>&</sup>l</tt>/
<i>adjective</i></div>

<div>Bill - This is a great question!</div>
<div>Ha...I am new to this too...but for now, regarding the detailed
and the simplified...examples are clear in this attachment...see number
4..it is very very detailed...but in your entry above there are not
only detailed and simplified spellings, but also a definition about the
English word described in English, and we have the equivalent
definitions written in ASL about ASL starting in SignBank now, thanks
to Deaf contributor Adam Frost, who is writing the ASL definitions for
us...so the layout style of the dictionary has to be determined by the
editors of that dictioinary, and then create a standard throughout the
book...SignBank is the closest we have to that idea right now...I can
share some of this with you tomorrow - Thanks for your input... Val ;-)</div>
