question about 6 configurations of SignWriting

[Valerie Sutton]

Hello Claudia and everyone on the SLLING List -

I am happy to answer your questions in detail, Claudia. Do you know about the SignWriting List? I believe it would be more appropriate for me to answer your questions on the SignWriting List, unless it would be ok with other SLLING members that I respond here as well?

Here is information about joining the SignWriting List, where technical questions on SignWriting symbols are very very welcome! I can explain the symbols in detail... I look forward to seeing your questions on the SW List, and anyone is welcome to join...

1. To Join the SignWriting List, go to:

2. To post messages to the SignWriting List, email to:
SW-L at listserv.valenciacc.edu

3. SignWriting List Archives and Help:

The symbols have nothing to do with the feet! smile...I will prepare an answer for you on the SignWriting List now... The term "Heel of Hand" is a SignWriting term that means that we are seeing the wrist from the front view and the hand is hidden behind it...I will post a diagram on the SignWriting List for you ....

Thank you for your question! smile

Val ;-)
