I also tried to paste at the very bottom of this email, the original message from Adam, that was really asking for a "short way to hand write" the repeated motion within vertical Lanes ... so I think we are mixing two different issues - "formal publishing of sign literature" and handwriting or shorthand...</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I brought up "publishing in formal SignWriting", which is what the Movement Clusters are used for, simply to point out the differences between handwriting and formal writing... part of the reason that the Movement Clusters work for formal publishing is that SignWriting is used to write many different sign languages in over 40 countries, not just ASL and LIBRAS, so the Movement Clusters give us visual information as to exactly what is happening, which means that foreigners to a sign language can read the exact movements quickly at a visual glance... it enhances reading. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">When we hand write we want to have a quicker way to write things like repeated motion, and I agree the two lines look like an easy way to shorten for quick writing... We need to write a book on SW Handwriting techniques and this could be a part of that book...</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I think the research work of Deborah Campos Wanderley and Marianne Rossi Stumpf is very important and I do not want anyone to stop working on research - and of course go right ahead and write as you feel is best for your language. It is important that the next generations move forward with new ideas ;-)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">So here is an interesting question - As more and more people write by hand, will it influence the formal writing style used when publishing?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I have noticed some shortcuts that are happening around the world, and this is clearly one of them -</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Adam - how do you feel about this?

Teachers and researchers Débora Campos Wanderley and Marianne Rossi Stumpf published a scientific article, with the theme: Plural Marking in the Signwriting System: A Morphological Approach. In this article they explain the use of the ending of symbols (I) or (II):<br class="">
