<div dir="ltr">Hello Valerie and SWList members!<br><br>Thank you for your suggestions about the "Who?" sign and other writings for circular movement in front of the face. DanceWriting's functionality may be confusing to me a little bit. I agree with you that writing from the Expressive Viewpoint is a more appropriate approach to write in sign languages. According to your description, I suppose I might misunderstand at first that the position of a Circular Movement arrow must always overlap the position of the hand, however, it seems that the hand and the arrow don't have to be in the same place as you indicated. So I have a few questions as follows:<br>- Is the position of the hand in any SW always the starting point of the movement?<br>- Regarding the sign for "Who" in ThaiSL as you provided, if the hand is located under the level of the face, should the arrow be located on the lowest level of the circle as well? I'm just curious as to why your arrow is at the top of the circle.<br><br>Your explanation has clarified a lot for me. So thank you again!,<div><img src="cid:ii_kv5cqr0v2" alt="sign (14).png" width="45" height="40"> <br><div>Sutthikhun (Ae)<br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, 23 Oct 2021 at 05:20, Valerie Sutton <<a href="mailto:sutton@signwriting.org">sutton@signwriting.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">SignWriting List<div>October 22, 2021</div><div><br></div><div>First, here is how I would write the sign for WHO in Thai Sign Language, based on the video provided:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/canvas.php?ui=1&sgn=34&sid=202" target="_blank">https://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/canvas.php?ui=1&sgn=34&sid=202</a></div><div><br></div><div><img id="gmail-m_-82587464956404458515D3738B0-2409-470C-8EEB-536121E3F8C7" width="640" height="421" src="cid:17cb2cb3fa9d477f8951"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Second, </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you, Sutthikhun, for this message on Messenger below.

I would like to ask you how to use The Head from different viewpoint symbol for sign "Who?" in Thai Sign Language in as follows:<br>1. If I use Head Side View, does the Eyebrow have to be shown only on one side or have to be shown on both sides?<br>2. Does the Head Movement arrow have to be rotated in the direction of the head?<br>3. Does the Circular Movement arrow have to be rotated in the direction of the head?<br>4.

I placed my writing in SignPuddle in the Thai Sign Language Dictionary.</div><div><br></div><div>Writing anything from the Side View in SignWriting, although possible and occasionally necessary, should be avoided if possible, because writing from the Side View has different rules and circumstances, as your many questions illustrate!</div><div><br></div><div>It is also harder for other people to read from the Side View, because it is so rare. DanceWriting is a different. It was designed for all viewpoints, but SignWiting tends to remain Expressive and facing forward, unless we are writing Mime or dialogue or theater.</div><div><br></div><div>So I would rather not get into answering your questions about Side View right now - maybe later I can start a new lesson just on writing rare Side Views. Do you have questions on the way I wrote it above? Do you feel you can write it without the Side View now?</div><div><br></div><div>Feedback is welcome. It is fine to discuss and argue and enjoy the debate - that is what the SignWriting List is for!</div><div><br></div><div>Val ;-)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>________________________________________________
