<div dir="ltr">Hi Val,<div><br></div><div>Thank you for your reply! Your feedback and the screen capture from SignPuddle are very helpful. Yes, I was aiming for "kissfist." </div><div><br></div><div>I am still learning about the "grammar" of SignWriting. I now can see that the "up arrow" isn't necessary because it is implied. I am still studying the SignSpelling Guidelines and Writing Process on pages 193 to 203.</div><div><br></div><div>I will change the spelling--I will remove the touch contact from under the chin. </div><div><br></div><div>On page 164 in the textbook, in the first column, on rows 5 and 6 -- could you tell me the difference between these two "kisses"? I tried to look up SignWords that use these symbols in SignPuddle (Search by Symbols) but none came up.</div><div><br></div><div>On another note, there are two signs that I can think of right now that touch under the chin. I am working on signwriting them, and I will show them to you in my next email. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again,</div><div>AnnaGrace</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Mar 11, 2022 at 6:51 PM 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>March 11, 2022</div><div><br></div><div>Hello SignWriting List, and AnnaGrace -</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for the question and the writing ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>I hope others will answer, better than I can do… It is very nice that you ask questions like this…it gets us thinking ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>At first I thought your right fist was moving up and touching under your chin, but then I guessed you were writing KISS FIST, because I saw the kiss mouth position.</div><div><br></div><div>I just looked up KISS FIST in the ASL SignPuddle and found these signs, written by three different writers… thank you everyone.
