AW: half circle

[Stefan Woehrmann]

Hi Tini and list,

thank you for your question - yes I agree it helps to know where to perform
the movement - since the sign is associated with "heaven and God" I would
probably look up and move the head up as well ( like in #1)

You asked about "top view"- hm - there  is no "top view" - ok - there is no
special rotation symbol - but you don ±²  need any - ;-)   because you can see
the handorientation at the startposition - back of hands outside and in the
end back of hand towards  the signer - thumbs inside -
>>From my point of view this would be possible  "natural variation "   Would
be interesting to read Stuarts description --

.... by the way I like #3 because of the "natural flow" of the movement -

Stefan ;-))

attached you find a German sign for heaven - that probably influenced my
interpretation

  Hello Stefan and list,
  I like #1 because one can see it is done above the head. But why did you
show the hands, at the end, "top view", while all is done in the same area
and without a sign of a twist in the wrists?
  L.I.F.E.
  Tini.
