<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi everyone!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Olga, to answer your question more
specifically:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Your first symbol <IMG alt="" hspace=0
src="cid:8A5C56A640D449A1AB821CE121DA1DF5@user1b19c5dea5" align=baseline
border=0> shows a single arm twist - the hand flips 90 degrees and does not
return to the starting position</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The second symbol <IMG alt="" hspace=0
src="cid:BFE7BE9470D44886A862A82A478A6BBA@user1b19c5dea5" align=baseline
border=0> shows the arm twisting twice <STRONG>in the same
direction</STRONG> - the movement back to the starting position is not
relevant to the sign and is not written;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The third symbol <IMG alt="" hspace=0
src="cid:1D0769D962364F57B47A30CC3EFD7789@user1b19c5dea5" align=baseline
border=0> shows a twist <STRONG>back and forth</STRONG> - the hand flips 90
degrees and returns to the starting position;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The fourth symbol <IMG alt="" hspace=0
src="cid:33E45B3AAAC94655AAE303FD7BA4E265@user1b19c5dea5" align=baseline
border=0> is what I think you meant by "trill" - the arm twists back and
forth quickly; it's the symbol I would use for the ASL sign "tree" and is the
same symbol you sent in your clarification to Charles. The arrowhead was
added only so the reader knows which hand is used (in this case the right hand,
because the arrowhead is black), but it's not required.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope this helps,</FONT></DIV>
