Thank you, I am still trying to figure out all the arrows, but I am glad to
hear that the simple version seems to be enough for now :).

SW List members, and Nana!
I personally like the simple way you wrote it, Nana... So I wouldn't
change anything for now...

Back in March, 2003, we discussed a similar sign with Hector, from
Colombia. They have similar signs in Colombia for "make" or "create".
So here is my old diagram, relating to our Colombian discussion...You
can see we included different arrows...But that was because we were
trying to write repeated motion that was "forward-forward"...we were
doing more than just the normal sign for "make"...it was with more
emphasis and the movement was repeated twice from the wrist only...So
you can see there are different ways to write related signs...
