[sw-l] LESSON...Finger Trills

SignWriting List

Hello Everyone, Charles and Anny -
The dots in the circular pattern show the exact finger that
closes...one at a time...and you follow the arrow to see which one does
it first...I need to improve the way these symbols look in the IMWA
because at the moment you are unable to fit them around the 5 hand...so
that wlll change when I get time to do that...But looking at your
attached sign, Charles...

Both hands in the sign you wrote start the trill at the thumb (I know
you wanted to get the first dot to fit close to the thumb but
couldn't...) but if you could have fit it over the proper finger, it
would be clear that the dot over the thumb starts the trill, and then
it successively goes one after the other finishing at the baby
finger...

Is that what you wanted?...These Finger Trills do not show the actual
hand movement...They are arrows based on which fingers closes or opens
first, second or third...
