Hello Stuart, Philippe, Stefan and Everyone!

Ha! This is fun...

Thank you Philippe, for adding SignWriting 10. It is much better! And  
Stuart is correct in SignWriting 11, that when we have groups of  
Movement Symbols, the rule is that we read the symbols in the group  
that are closer to the center first...so SignWriting 11 tells us that  
both hands open first, and close second...

Please see attached diagram....
