SignSpelling Guidelines: Sample

[Bill Reese]

Val, I find these SignSpelling examples to be very interesting and am
studying them all.  I have a question about this example, "daughter".
 In the column showing the parts of the sign, you have an arm position,
that very clearly shows how the arms should be positioned.  However, the
sign itself does not include all of the information shown.  Instead, it
seems to be "understood" that the shoulder and forearm lines are not
shown.  For a beginner in signspelling how is a student to know this and
is there a parallel with spoken languages?
