SignWriting List
October 14, 2001

Dear SW List and Ingvild, Charles...
Regarding the future rules for ordering Sign-Spellings (SS), let us
use SignBank as our tool to work out some of the issues...I will show
you what I mean in the next message...

Ingvild...I hope you won't stop entering signs, because entering
signs is the only way we will come to a decision on the rules. I will
take the three signs you gave us as examples, and show you different
issues with them, in the next few messages....

Charles...do not worry...you don't have to re-do anything with your
new book...the Northern European languages do have some differences
in regards to facial expressions which I want to discuss...it is
nothing like ASL...and I want to discuss those differences now on the
List...

Val ;-)
