[sw-l] Adding Classifiers to SignPuddle Dictionaries

[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
March 15, 2005

Anny is right that the parentheses are special symbols that sometimes 
are funny when it comes to sorting dictionaries on the web...so Stuart 
is right that an underscore line _ is understood by most computers so 
this would be better:

CL_BED
CL_VEHICLE

This should work well when sorting dictionaries by spoken 
languages...in English...

What is the abbreviation in French-Swiss Sign Language, Anny? Do you 
still use CL for Classifier?

Val ;-)
