multiple faces simultanously

[Ingvild Roald]

In Norwegian SL there are signs when we do need to write more than one face.

This one, meaning 'bun-in-the-oven' or 'pregnant, but not telling yet', has 
a tounge in the cheek while the index finger is coming brushing up behind 
the ear (the last part means 'foxy' or 'sneaky'). I tried writing the two 
faces on top of each other when I wrote horisontaly, but decided to write 
them beside each other with the simultanous arc now.
