CZECH Writing arms and shoulders (SKOLA)

[Honza]

Hi Val and Nany, ok I'll try to write it down.

Yes there are on-line dictionary of czech sign language, but it is not 
very vell. There are only some signs. It is not real dictionary.
I have full dictionary of czech sign language, but not now with me.

The movement in YOUNG and SKOLA (school) is similar (in SKOLA the 
movement is up than back and again up), but I don't know where exactly 
is the contatct made. In SKOLA the contact is on the side.

maybe SKOLA shoud look like this:  

thanks.

this sounds a little like the ASL sign for "young", but with just one 
hand.  Is the hand brushing upward twice, on the body near the 
shoulder?  Maybe you could look up "young" in the ASL dictionary and see 
if that seems close.  Is the movement like a circle, or is it mostly an 
upward movement, and then going out and down just to return the hand so 
it can brush up again?
