[sw-l] BELGIUM: 2 new flag-icons

[Stephen Slevinski]

Hi Charles,

If you want an SCA SignPuddle, I've created one for you on Oculog.net:
http://www.oculog.net/signpuddle/SCA.  If anyone else wants a SignPuddle to
play around in, let me know.

I have also created a SignPuddle for testing:

  Looking at your Flemish & Walloon sections brings up an interesting use of
Sign Language, that of the Society for Creative Anachronism.  The SCA is a
medievalist recreationist group that uses ASL and some signs from other
languages in a medieval court setting.  One of the areas that is most useful
to us is in "name signs" for specific groups.  These are based, whenever
possible, on the heraldry of the group, so, for example, An Tir is a lion
rampant, which would be ASL [Lion + claw forward], Trimaris is [3 + water +
waves].  Would it be possible to get an SCA SignPuddle section set up so
that we can load this set of "special interest signs" into it?

    Hello List, and Kathleen and Flemish children!

    Ha! yes. I did as you suggested, Kathleen, and divided Belgium into the
    two Sign Language regions, Flemish and Walloon. Please see attached
    diagram for the icons for the two areas...I hope this is what you
    wanted? The Walloon dictionary does not go anywhere right now if you
    click on the icon, but in time it will...And I used the sign for
    Belgium for the Walloon dictionary until I find out what their sign is
    for their regional area of Belgium...

    Plus...Kathleen...did I choose the correct s! ign for Flanders? Notice
    how following the SignSpelling rules, the arrow is underneath the first
    handshape. I can explain that rule again, if you need it for your
    students:
