AW: [sw-l] makaron - video clip

[Stefan Wöhrmann]

Hi Val,

thanks for your spellings -

well - T think it is interesting that Makaron 4 and Makaron 6 are easy to
read - but Makaron 5 violates somehow the visual structure or reading
-expectation -

Well I know that the spelling is correct (smile) - but nevertheless threre
is this conflict between fingers pointing forward and arrows beneath the
hands pointing down from the wrist - do you know what I mean -

>From my point of view I wouldn't even add the diagonal movement line to he
arrow if the hands are shown parallel to the wall -
I bet that no experiences signer would force his hands exactly paralle to
the wall - but automatically would perform the movement with a diagonal
orientation of the hands and movement -

The video shows a left hand signer - so you decided to transcribe it for
right hand signers  - interesting.

All the best

Stefan ;-)

SignWriting List
May 13, 2005

Polish Sign for Makaron...
Here are three choices of the way I would write the sign. They are
located in your Polish SignPuddle. The most accurate would be to add a
fourth spelling, that would show the hands on the diagonal plane. But
that is too much detail for everyday writing.

Makaron 4....hands are parallel to the floor, seen from top view,
movement is forward
Makaron 5....hands are parallel to the floor, seen from top view,
movement is diagonal-forward
Makaron 6....hands are parallel to the body (your chest), seen from
front view, movement is diagonal-forward
