Matthew 24:13

[K.J. Boal]

I agree Charles, that's what I like to do too.  Usually if a sign is 
performed beside the head, I put in the head for both placement and 
expression; if the sign is performed in neutral space but I need facial 
expression, I place the hands distinctly below the head.

I agree with you on the sign for endure as well; though I think I would 
prefer a single open-headed arrow for this sign; attached is how I would 
write it. . . Val, would it be wrong to write it this way?  As I understand 
it, the open-headed arrow means "both hands move as one unit"; I kind of 
take that to mean that if the hands (or fingers or thumbs) aren't touching, 
I should use two arrows but if there is contact, I can use the one arrow.  
Am I wrong?  Does the contact have to include more of the hand than just the 
tips of the thumbs?
