No. I've thought about this, but haven't implemented it yet. It
should be an easy addition to the query language and very valuable.
I will probably add it to the next edition of
draft-slevinski-signwriting-text which I need to update for next
month. It should only take a few hours to add to the query language
to regular expression convertor.<br>
<br>
The syntax would probably be QAS10000 for all signs that have a sign
spelling sequence that starts with the index symbol <img

<br>
Alternately, the query QAS100uu would find all of the signs that
start with the same symbol without regards to fill or rotation.<br>
<br>
This leads to an additional complication of QAS10000S20500 versus
QS20500AS10000, where S20500 is the single contact. <img
src="cid:part2.06000303.04010900@signpuddle.net" alt=""><br>
<br>
The first query (QAS10000S20500) would find the signs that have a
sign spelling sequence that starts with the index followed by the
contact. The second query would find the signs that have a sign
spelling sequence that starts with the index and includes a contact
somewhere in the sign. Subtle but powerful distinction.<br>
