<DIV>How's this? It sort of sidesteps the issue, but the hands don't collide with each other. It's expressive, but from above.</DIV>

waiting on this sign until I can standardize the use <BR>of the 10 hand symbol in the IMWA...it is creating problems in the <BR>computer program ID numbers and I am concerned about it...so let's <BR>wait until I get the 10 hand in the IMWA resolved...There was a <BR>reason, why I did not jump and change that symbol - the 10 hand is <BR>used in headers, representing a whole group of symbols...the 10 hand <BR>group...and so I am trying to make it possible to fix the symbol <BR>without all of us being required to re-enter all signs that use that <BR>symbol in SignPuddle...The change is also creating problems in the <BR>SignBank program, when we print the headers for handshapes in <BR>dictionaries sorted by sss...so we may have to re-do every sign that <BR>uses that handshape, and if so, then let's wait on writing this one! <BR>I hope to resolve it soon...Val ;-)<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
