The first Tegn seems to describe both circles in the same plane. To me
it's almost like I'm looking at the sign slightly to one side - which
is perfectly normal - not everyone watches someone signing from a
straight on perspective. In seeing both circles in the same plane, it
reinforces the concept of both hands moving similarly and that they are
on opposite sides of the circle. <br>
<br>
Tegn_2 appears almost same, except that the circles do not seem to be
in the same plane but at a slight angle to each other. It looks rather
like the left hand is going slightly left and the right hand is going
slightly right.<br>

busy you are, so this is amazing..smile...

Great experience to visit the Norwegian SignPuddle!

Attached is the sign for TEGN...(I know that your question is really
about jerky circles, and I am getting to that )...but I still wanted
to share this tiny tidbit on writing styles...What both of us wrote
here, for the sign for TEGN, are both correct...so you don't have to
change a thing...
<br>
<br>
But notice that I tend to have the two circles symmetrically opposite
with the dark part of the circle on the outside of the movement
grouping (see number 2 in the attached diagram)...I am not even sure
why I do that, but I got used to it...
<br>
<br>
Any opinions, anyone, on these writing-style differences? Look at the
two circles...
