Hi,<br>
<br>
In order not to ask for every other sign I try to write :) I first
check if there is one similar in ASL and then look for the video
here[1] to be certain. It's great for learning, although sometimes
I get even more confused (as with "fumble"), usually it helps.<br>
<br>
In this case I didn't know whether to use strike # or touch * for
this [2] sign in my language, or whether I need an arrow, maybe the
strike/touch is enough? I would write it like this:<br>
<br>
<img alt="" id="4200ab06-e78b-409a-9306-7b583fe77a65" height="68" width="48" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:part1.04020606.02030507@gmail.com">or <img alt="" id="3005912a-c965-48fb-8c71-cea5ee74774a" height="65" width="41" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:part2.08030509.03020805@gmail.com">, or <img alt="" id="5c7c7b33-dbb9-4478-b603-91f0bab73706" height="53" width="50" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:part3.09030206.02080304@gmail.com">. Are there
some rules of style I can read about? Something that would help
decide which writing is better? I assume that the ASL signs have
been reviewed by more people and take them as the example to follow,
but that might not always be the case.<br>
<br>
Looking for something similar in ASL I ended up in "make", but there
are two versions, one with * and one with #. They do not use arrows
though, so I guess I can also do without.<br>
<br>
<img alt="" id="832292f8-ec48-455e-8c3c-6d729eb2fbbc" height="99" width="53" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:part4.05010400.01040204@gmail.com"><br>
<br>
<img alt="" id="9f72c933-8765-4fcf-81d9-2fa083b24921" height="106" width="58" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" src="cid:part5.05040909.08030107@gmail.com"><br>
<br>
But I wonder, are those two texts meant to represent the same sign
in ASL? They're different alright, but I haven't found alternatives
for "make" in the online dictionaries.<br>
<br>
