Hello Lucyna -
Thank you for your question...smile...

First (smile)...regarding the symbols attached....we do not actually  
write with these Location Symbols...they are only in the IMWA to help  
us sort large dictionaries by Sign-Symbol-Sequence (SSS). Sometimes  
when we set up a dictionary file to sort by SSS in SignBank, we find  
that two signs are written with similar symbols, and so which one  
should be put first, second or third in the dictionary? We use these  
Location Symbols to tell SignBank, that each sign has a different  
Location related to the body, and then the dictionary can sort by SSS  
properly...So just ignore these symbols for actually writing  
signs...continued next message...
