AW: AW: [sw-l] Sign Names in SignWriting ;-)

Tue May 1 12:48:14 UTC 2007

I find this easy to read, the brush contact is the equivalent of a contact star, and the movement is placed for reading convenience below the arm line.  That's how I would write an ASL "J" that brushed the arm, else the movement would put the handshape too far visually from the arm.

  well - can you describe how to sign your signname? 

  For some reason I do not know. 

  First part no problem K-hand touches left lower arm ... 

  your rotation arrow describes a movement of the right thumb, right lower arm above or below the I-hand ? Now brush contact of the little finger – lower arm above the hand ? hm --
