<DIV>If the D were contacting at the finger tip, it would have to be placed further down to show the relative position of the handshape.

Would it be different if the contact point on the second handshape was the tip of
the index finger instead of the thumb/middle fingers? I think I am struggling with how much detail needs to be there, and how much is too much... I know that 'it depends' (an interpreter's favorite phrase) -- enough so you can't mistake the sign for something else, unless you're doing research and need all the details-- but when I am reading/writing, I find I tend to want to be more specific than some of the signs I see in the signPuddle. </FONT> <BR><BR><IMG src="cid:3748998117000002@web30209.mail.mud.yahoo.com"><FONT face=sans-serif size=2> </FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>for example, on this for 'come' from the SignPuddle, I want to write it like this...</FONT> <BR><BR><IMG src="cid:3748998117000003@web30209.mail.mud.yahoo.com"><FONT face=sans-serif size=2> Because my wrists flex as the two handshapes move forward.
