That is interesting...The Fill 05 position is obviously still under  
transition. But I think we solved the Fill 02, so that it is better  
than before. And the ID numbers are a little more logical than  
before, because the A hand starts 01 with the thumb side, and now the  
10 hand starts 01 with the thumb side, so the new is slightly more  
consistent.

I believe that the Fill 05 will go through some more analysis in a  
couple of months, because Adam and Charles have a point. And so does  
Barbara Pennachi wanting consistency and I agree with them all! I  
think there is a solution, but right now I have to stop on the 10  
Handshape...I need a rest from new developments. I have many people  
waiting for me to answer their questions...and several web pages to  
design...poor Sergio in Brazil has waited too long for my web page on  
their wonderful newsletter in SignWriting!

Kathleen - Your spelling issues are coming too...smile...and Mark  
with Full Body Writing and the Czech Republic with your signs, and  
Lucyna will choose one to write...

Therefore, Steve, I would like to ask if I can add a variation to  
Group 10 that will be: 01-10-001-02...and there I will add some of  
the other variations of the 10 handshape, so no one will feel  
deprived...smile...

Val ;-)
