South Korean handshape

[Valerie Sutton]

Wonderful information, Jason!

Many thanks to you, your friends, Charles, Adam, Ingvild and everyone...

I am having fun adding the new shapes...there are a lot of  
them...some of the Ethiopian handshapes are quite unusual, and I am  
also adding five now, related to other signed languages...Group 3  
will be much bigger now...

Anyway, on Monday I will post the final symbols for your comment...

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! I am having a busy one! ;-))

Val ;-)
