Dear Val,
Thank you very much for your support. Believe me, it is still tough for me
to understand all the SignPuddle logic or I just get lost in that a maze of
signs for me. It is not that I expect you to led me by the hand. I have
tried many times to find the A, L and other handshapes and I failed even if
I checked all the Sign Puddle diagrams. I did also go through the
signwriting.org website, not only now and when writing an article about SW
but also earlier. But then I felt it to be black magic for me and simply I
gave up. I believe everything is logical there but there is too much stuff
to master in a short time, and the lessons I had gone through some time ago
broke off in certain spots and I did not know where the next step was or I
felt lost in the webpages. I need still time to familiarize with those
things. I have not planned to use SW as I have other jobs to do but I could
not find anyone else for building up a SW dict for PJM.
Now, after I have seen your helpful diagrams I can understand better the
logics of Sign Puddle. Thanks again.

Lucyna
