No. We would not use the Unit Dynamics Line...definitely not ;-)))</div><div><br></div><div>Holding the non-dominant hand in space, while the dominant hand continues to sign, is written with a Tension Symbol placed underneath the hand that is held in space....The Tension Symbol is showing that that position is being "held in one place"...
