Sunrise query...writing one symbol in front of another

[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
July 6, 2005

Hello Kimberley and Charles -
Why don't you re-add the sign again yourself? Re-write it  
yourself...SignPuddle is not a published dictionary - it is a place  
for us to play with writing, and for learning how to write signs, so  
if there is a sign that you want to add, add it! And if there is a  
double up, that is ok too...And if you delete a sign by mistake, you  
can re-write it yourself and add it again...that will be good  
practice for you...So you did nothing wrong and you are an editor and  
can add signs and subtract signs, so you can fix it!

And I do not understand why Charles can't do that  
too...Charles...have you found your password yet? I can send you an  
invitation to establish a new password...I will do that next message.  
Look for a message privately that invites you to become an editor of  
the ASL dictionary...

I am truly deluged with work and I am so tired and in pain at times  
that makes it hard for me to use a mouse or type, so it is necessary  
that you become as independent as possible!

Val ;-)

Hello all:
I like the simplified spelling; very much like what I was originally
visualizing!
"Sunrise" looks great on SignPuddle now (will the equivalent version of
"sunset" be joining it?). However ... I feel horrible for making
"sunset_4" disappear while trying to rename it, and so can somebody who
knows how, please put it back? It looks like this:

sunset

Thank you for all the coaching, Val!
Best,
Kim from Boston
