AW: {Quarantine} [sw-l] Contact symbol position where?

[Stefan Wöhrmann]

Hi KJ, - and listmembers

 

“However, if the Deafies on the List and the DAC agree on something other
than my choice, I'm willing to be flexible. :-)”

 

Well, I hesitate to understand your comment. The point might be that you as
the scribe of your documents need kind of  “insight” oder “understanding” of
what you are doing. I love and go along with your suggestion how to write
the contact stars – kind of close to the location but not between head and
hand – smile 

 

There is no need to fix any rules and standards right now. It makes sense to
study Valeries writing again and again. I could not search for enough
original “Sutton SignWriting” in order to develop some kind of feeling for a
good “Gestalt” of given signs. 

 

And I guess that SignWriting is that all about. Contrary to a string of
isolated symbols we arrange the symbols from the IMWA so that with a glimps
we identify the whole arrangement as what it stands for. 

 

So Adam, Stuart, Val and others may develop some rule about this in the
future .... and I agree that the experienced DEAF SignWriting scribes
usually develop a strong feeling about a well written and easy to understand
“sign” 

 

Stefan ;-)

Okay, using Val's hypothetical signs, here are my thoughts: 

The first three are the way I would write them. The next three are, if I
understand you correctly Adam, the way you would write them (opposite the
position of contact), and the last three make the least sense to me.
However, if the Deafies on the List and the DAC agree on something other
than my choice, I'm willing to be flexible. :-)
