<DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#bf00bf><STRONG>I thank you for your generous effort you have provided me although I have a little doubt on them. For instance, </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#bf00bf><STRONG> *8(the thumb wouldn't let out),</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#bf00bf><STRONG> * 11(the index finger rests accross the thumb and forms 't')</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#bf00bf><STRONG> * 12(the index and middle fingers are on and top of the thumb)</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#bf00bf><STRONG> *28( the three fingers rests above the thumb)</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#bf00bf><STRONG> *31( beyond from yours in addition the small finger and the ring finger toucher the thumb together)</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#bf00bf><STRONG>Infact in 32 the thumb and little finger are joined and the rest are under them inside.</STRONG></FONT></DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#bf00bf><STRONG></STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="comic sans ms" color=#bf00bf><STRONG>One more thing Charles, I see some new signs which I couldn't find them in the sign Puddle. Would you point me where I can get them available.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#bf00bf>Many Thanks</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV>I've done a few of the signs in the following jpeg. Some of them I've created from current IMWA/ SW components. See if they make sense to you. I managed to find all but about 5 or so in the IMWA. Number 32 I wasn't sure how to read as the drawing is unclear.</DIV>

I'm not sure whether the shape above should have it as a "variant" or this one.</CENTER>
