It is a little out of date because it was written in 2007 and published in 2008 and there are some new developments since, however, when it comes to these Rotation Symbols, I really like their illustrations...When you <a href="http://www.signwriting.org/archive/docs7/sw0617_Cross_Linguistic_Guide_SignWriting_Parkhurst.pdf">download their book</a>, go to PDF page 102, (numbered page 96). Here is a screen capture of the top half of that page:</div><div><br></div><div><img height="412" width="491" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" id="ae3b2299-227d-4bd1-91f4-ab4eb508963f" src="cid:5784802C-D778-4290-89F0-A8DF970648C4"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The double-stemmed center-lines of the symbol represent the forearm parallel to the Front Wall, or your chest. The curves show the curve of the Rotation. Think of the path your baby finger paints, or your thumb paints, as the arm curves...that single curved line is painting the path of your baby finger...or your thumb, as the arm twists...</div><div><br></div><div>Val ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>-------</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Mar 4, 2011, at 10:17 AM, Olga Drozdenko wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Valerie, thank you!<br><br>But know I have a question about the difference between these 4 symbols (I'm sorry for asking, I've just started learning SignWriting, may be I could read these information somewhere in the books).<br></blockquote><div><br></div><img height="241" width="58" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" id="118872ef-d328-45ed-bbd6-9416a68a9766" src="cid:5768E99A-2A7D-4CD4-A198-A004ABBB3EE8"></div><div><br></div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><br>PS I'm reading these book<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.signwriting.org/archive/docs7/sw0617_Cross_Linguistic_Guide_SignWriting_Parkhurst.pdf">http://www.signwriting.org/archive/docs7/sw0617_Cross_Linguistic_Guide_SignWriting_Parkhurst.pdf</a><br>Is it ok?<br><br>Olga</blockquote><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br></div><br><br><div>
