Hello Thierry, Shane, Lucyna, Stuart and Everyone!
I will be happy to discuss finger movements...Not only how they  
relate to arrows, but also some of the short-writings that have been  
used over the years in different countries...

Here are the diagrams of the numbers from 12-19 in Northern Ireland  
Sign Language that Shane asked me about, for example..The writings  
below assume knowledge of the language, and may be hard to understand  
in foreign countries, but they are fast to write by hand...so I can  
give you the history as to why such writing conventions developed and  
we can discuss some solutions together...

See you Thursday on the List!

Val ;-)
