Hello Kathleen, Sara, Kristof and everyone!
Look at the attached diagram. The movement symbol that you chose for  
the other sign for Kempen, Kathleen, was correct, if you stay in one  
place. Maybe it is not exactly the same as the sign in the video,  
which does travel forward...or maybe that is a style difference in  
signing...both writings will be understood I am sure...

Notice the arrow is above the hand...There is a rule for that...would  
you like to discuss that?...

Also, notice the handshape in Frans is actually different than the  
one written in the Flemish Sign Language online  
dictionary...Kristof's thumb is behind the index finger, so that  
would make the Index Finger darker in the symbol...if you look  
closely you can see they are different hand symbols...the one in the  
Flemish dictionary has the thumb on the outside of the index  
finger..That needs to be changed someday if possible ;-)

The palm facing is white, so that means that the palm starts facing  
the body...very good - Val ;-)
