<P>Hello Val, Juliette and list,</P>
<P>thanks for the reply :) </P>
<P>The sign is like you suggested Val, not stuck under the armpits but brushing at that height. So the contactsymbol would be the same as in the German-Swiss sign. Here's the movie from the Flemish online dictionary:</P>

<P>I've made these now, you see the symbol is in two different places. Which seems the best place to you? I've placed the hands at the position of contact (according to the signspelling rules ;)</P>
<P>the arrows have to be under the handshapes because there's no place above them. so I was wondering about the contact symbol.</P>
<P>Greetings Kathleen</P></DIV>

The In- <BR>>between symbols are usually used, if the hand is held between the <BR>>arm and the side of the body, but when just scratching the sides of <BR>>the body, they may not be necessary...Take a look at the attached <BR>>diagram of SignBank for the ASL sign for MONKEY...maybe your sign <BR>>is different? Can you describe it in words a
