<p class="yiv1928456561MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="
font-size:12.0pt;">Thank you for the attached photos and suggestions for hand symbols. As
you know, you are welcome to construct the hand symbols as they are needed,
within the ISWA 2010. If you are finding confusions in writing certain hand
symbols that are in the ISWA 2010, of course it is good that you tell us, and
go right ahead and do what you feel is best… Meanwhile others around the world
are already using the ISWA 2010 as it is, so it is not possible for us to stop
everyone from writing the way they choose, but I am fully in support of your
efforts to improve your writing of your sign languages…</span></font></p>

<div>
<p class="yiv1928456561MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="
font-size:12.0pt;">So in this discussion, I am only observing what you are telling us…but
not standing in judgement, since I have learned through experience that the
hand symbols will never be finished. There are too many possible variations of
hand positions and palm facings, for us to have ALL of them for writing every
sign language in the world…so please know I am happy that you are sharing with
us, and if we can read what you wrote, that is all that matters...</span></font></p>

<p class="yiv1928456561MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="
font-size:12.0pt;">Regarding Picture 1 below, with the Index Finger and Little Finger bent
- I know other sign languages need this hand symbol too. And I can read how you
constructed the symbols. So this fine. I can read it. There is a second way of
writing this, but if you are happy with this I am too …smile...</span></font></p>

usually use it but it is very seems with 01-06-021 [Y]. I see that many people
use it in dactylology (spelling) 01-10-004 for [A] and 01-09-019 for [G]. The
handshape 01-06-021 is a different picture of “5”.</span></font><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black;"></span></font></p>
