[sw-l] DIAGONAL PLANE Hands for Detailed Writing

[Charles Butler]

  Sign for mountain.  The hands move diagonally up forward twice.  One could write it with a double-curve up as well, but I think of this as "straight" movement.

OK. But I want to be sure that teachers of Deaf children understand
that the handshapes on the Diagonal Plane are unnecessary for everyday
writing...this is only for detailed writing....Because for everyday
writing, we already have movement symbols on the Diagonal Plane, and
that is enough to get the Diagonal Plane written...to Review the
Movement Symbols on the Diagonal Plane, start at this web page:

and it goes for several pages...

or...start here...

and it goes for several pages...

OK. Next message I will show you the hand symbols...
