[sw-l] Mixing plane

Mon Jun 6 21:44:31 UTC 2005

I look at your example, Sergio, and I see two different signs.  In one, the two-hand is pointed forward with the back of the hand up, going apparently under a flat hand with the palm toward the reader.  In the second, the two hand is going under a flat hand facing down, different orientation, not the same two hands at all.  I would, for myself, not even write the split in the flat hand in the second instance as the hand is pointed to the side, and therefore you see the edge of the hand, not the split.

 This is the sign for "prophesy" (to foresee the future).  Very similar to your sign.

Hello Sergio!
I prefer your first writing. Yes. We mix two planes within one sign
all the time. I believe the first one is better, because the symbols
are less complex. There may be others who disagree,
though..smile...So you can technically write it either way and it is
correct.... Val ;-)
