you just write the wrist flex? </font>

That is ok. I am glad to have your questions, just as long as I have <br>
time to answer all your questions at a steady and relaxed <br>
pace...without feeling like there is a stress to answer too quickly...<br>
<br>
Just go on writing other signs, if my answers are slow in coming ;-)<br>
<br>
The answers will come sooner or later! And we can always re-visit <br>
issues and signs later, after the whole first draft is written...It <br>
is exciting to see all you are accomplishing!<br>
<br>
Now...regarding the bent rake...<br>
<br>
Is the WRIST LOCKED IN PLACE? or is the WRIST UNLOCKED, and there is <br>
real movement from the Wrist Joint?<br>
<br>
If the wrist is locked, then it is a Rotisserie Symbol.<br>
<br>
If it is unlocked at all, then the Wrist Symbol is used.<br>
<br>
If a movement is BOTH, then it has to be written with a Wrist <br>
Movement Symbol, because that means the wrist has to be unlocked <br>
because how else could it move too?...<br>
<br>
So the sign for BENT RAKE, to me at least, watching the video, <br>
appears to bend at the wrist. The wrist is unlocked. I therefore <br>
would write it with a Wrist Movement Symbol.<br>
<br>
The question is always "LOCKED? or "UNLOCKED"?<br>
<br>
