No Antony. That is a misunderstanding. I do not believe that Stefan  
was writing the shoulders in these signs. He was underlining nouns, I  
believe, for his Deaf children...They are not shoulders from the  
overhead view...Am I wrong, Stefan?

None of these signs, in Stefan's example, needs to be seen from  
overhead...
