question about contacts and arrows

[Honza]

Hey all,

after my first lessons at university I have some questions about rules.

First about writing contact and rules for that.
1) How do you know where is the contact made? - logically it is supposed 
to be in the centre of hand (right hand). But is there way how to write 
where is the contact exactly made? (probably here 
http://www.signwriting.org/lessons/elessons/less006.html)  It is not 
easy to write that especially if one of hands is black.
(see 1.jpg)
1a) what is more important? where is contact made? do you know thanks to 
hands positions or thanks to contact symbols?

2) How to write "lasting" contact?
common contact * is signed in way (see 2.jpg) to the place of contact 
and then away.
But how to write contact if there is just movement to the place of 
contact. Just without * symbol?

3) where to write contact symbol
I have already found it here 
http://www.signwriting.org/lessons/elessons/less063.html

4) the last one. I haven't managed to find it on the web. What are rules 
for writing arrows. There is example as attachment 3.jpg. Do you read 
the arrows from the left to the right, or from top to bottom, or from 
the center of the signs? I always thought it is read from the left to 
the right or from the top to the bottom

many thanks

Honza
