<DIV>I found this site while browsing. It seems to be a fairly complete dictionary of ASL. The sign they show for CALENDAR shows some relation to your sign. Perhaps we should write permission to start rendering their signs into SW.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">It looks as if you are holding the index finger out, and the J hand face down and to the side. I can understand it from your explanation but it looks very awkward. Old ASL had a similar sign with the left index finger pointed to the right and the J hand flopping over it, like turning the pages to a calendar forward and back, not to the side. Is this what you intended, or does the action go left to right.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
