wrist flex versus rotation

[Adam Frost]

No worries. Sometimes we need to refresh our memory because we forget. Nothing to do with being a good teacher or not. That is just human nature. We forget things. (But not I. Ok. I know. I lie. SMILE.)

I guess I am not a very good teacher. Sorry.

There have been so many chapters written about Rotation Symbols and  
Wrist Flexes in our current books, that it seems amazing to me that I  
still cannot explain this properly...but apparently I can't ;-))

I mis-spoke before. The line in the Flex symbol is not the forearm  
but is the axis that is cutting the wrist, as it says in the Lessons  
in SignWriting textbook:
