I know that.... and as you explain in the e-lessons that the handshape
generally has to be placed at the beginning of the arrow.... (spelling
rules) I was wondering if the rule was the same for circles... placing the
handshape near the arrows!! (because it's the place the movement begins!

I prefer placing the handshape near the arrow too... it's more logical with
the other spelling rules!
