[sw-l] how to write Z. and Z_

Hello Lucyna!
I am glad you made it through your Easter Monday, dry! I read about
your ceremony where boys throw water on girls! My goodness...I wouldn't
like that holiday either - ha!

But now, did you see my writing of the sign for Z, Lucyna? I placed it
in your SignPuddle....

And it was lovely to see your face on the video clips...thanks for
sending those and I could see them...It seems like your fingerspelling
is huge...what large movements! When you fingerspelll fast, I bet the
movements are smaller? smile...or perhaps you do not use fingerspelling
as we do in ASL, which is at the speed of lightning!?

Anyway, the writing I have attached seems ok I guess...if you don't
like it, change it...maybe in time you can find a solution that works
for you...fingerspelling is supposed to be easy to write because it is
typed on a keyboard and the symbol has to fit on a small key and line
up with the other symbols in the fingerspeling alphabet...so the less
complicated the better...Z_3 or Z_4 seem the best to me...Hope this
helps....Val ;-)
