Ethiopian Manual Alphabet(EMA)

[Charles Butler]

I have constructed some which are now in the Ethiopian list, one uses the extended middle finger on top of an E, one is an extension of the R variant handshape (index finger on top of middle finger with an extra finger crooked onto the square.  I used the construction pieces for those.  
 
Some of the others I can't construct with the pieces available.

Would you point me where I can get the new symbols which are not

Hello Eyasu and Charles...
Temporary construction of symbols can be done by clicking on the 
Limbs icon at the top right...You will find little finger pieces and 
arm lines there etc...Then you can piece it together...

These can only be temporary, however, because a constructed handshape 
cannot be sorted by SSS and cannot be used to search etc...so I plan 
to get to your new handshapes and put them in the IMWA officially as 
soon as I can... Val ;-)
