The black arrowhead is the right arm moving alone, and the white arrowhead is the left arm moving alone.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Then there is a General Movement Arrow for both right and left arm movements, that means that both the right arm and the left arm move at the same time along the same path - but that is another discussion and is not relevant in this case.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The reason an Arm Movement Arrow is needed, I feel, in this case, is because there is a GRASP symbol, showing the right hand grasping and holding onto the head. The GRASP symbol is a Contact Symbol, and Contact Symbols are oftentimes written in conjunction with Arm Movement Arrows, to show the direction the contact moves.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">And I looked at the video again, and the GRASP was a good choice I think, because the GRASP continues to hold the head until the end of the right arm pulling it up.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The stretching of the neck also occurs at the same time which is also shown. When the Neck stretches, it uses a General Arrow inside the Neck symbol, because it is neither right nor left, but the whole Neck stretching</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">So there are two movements happening simultaneously - the right arm grasping and pulling the head up, and the neck stretching - </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I think later we can discuss the General Arrowheads, but for right now, just realize that there were two very separate movements happening here - the right arm movement, and the neck movement which has no right or left… </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><img apple-inline="yes" id="7B8744D5-B279-4C0E-8D55-579C037B34DE" src="cid:9B38325B-467A-4C76-9143-C7BB1A6C9CF1@san.rr.com" class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">—————</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On May 16, 2021, at 10:40 AM, Josenilson da Silva Mendes <<a href="mailto:jsm88b@gmail.com" class="">jsm88b@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Hello SW List and Valerie!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Thank you, Valerie!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">My Sunday was great!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">I worked on Stefan's video for three days, about twelve
