Sometimes a hand just does weird things in motion so that one needs all 96 rotations (and sometimes the in-between ones).

Hi Charles,<br clear="none">
I watched your talk again today. I realized that what I call
"Sign Sequence" you call "Sign Spelling". I guess it is
"SignSpelling Sequence". So I didn't understand that the first
time. So now after this more attentive listening to your talk, I
see that you definitely are using SignSpelling Sequence for all your
entries and that you are doing them manually the same way Val
suggested in the SignSpelling Guidelines. <br clear="none">
Am I correct in my understanding that which symbols come first
in the sorted list is different from the way SignPuddle is sorting?
<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Your sorting would be sorted by the<br clear="none">

hand in the SignSpelling Sequence<br clear="none">
2. What figure (See the individual chapters)? <b> I need more

4. In each fill sorting, sort by rotation <b>( but not

I would like to implement a sorting algorithm for SignWriter

I understood how you are doing the ordering comparing hand shapes,
comparing rotations, comparing facings, comparing facial areas,
etc. I like it very much.<br clear="none">

<br clear="none">
A couple things I wanted to ask.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
For your algorithm to work properly does the sign sequence of a
sign need to be filled out? I am getting the impression that your
sorting could sort dictionaries without the sign sequence, is this
assumption correct? Or would it sort signs according to the
symbols in sign sequence? It doesn't seem to take into account
the order of the symbols in the sign sequence, is this correct?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Also do you have another document comparing the other symbols like
movement symbols, etc? If so could you send it to me? <br clear="none">
