SignWriting List

Anny -
There is no problem with the symbol list, except that there are too  
many symbols...You may never need many of the symbols there...Your  
Sign Language may only need half of them...so it must have been hard  
to teach beginners with so many advanced symbols...smile...oh  
well...it at least will help you become familiar with the writing  
system...

The thumb is forward, not to the side...so the dot represents the  
thumb sticking out forward, or perpendicular to the palm of the  
hand...I will try to find some pictures to show you, Anny...pictures  
are worth a thousand words, as they say!

Below...
This is well explained, Charles!
