Daniel, Siv, Penny and Everyone on the SW List -
I think this question fits our discussion on "How to write repeated
motion"?...Attached are a few signs from different signed languages,
meaning building or the floors of a building... Daniel and Siv...you
will need to post your attempt at writing the specific sign you wish to
write and then we can discuss it better....So I will continue with the
Repeated Motion lesson tomorrow....  Val ;-)
