Hello Charles, Adam and Everyone -
Thank you for this question regarding arm lines...

The Location Markers for the limbs (the arm line connected to the  
shoulder with a marker on the arm line showing the place of contact)  
are used when we are determining the SignSpelling Sequence for  
sorting in dictionaries...I know you have seen and used other  
Location Markers for the chest too, for example...but all of these  
Location Markers are not written with, inside the signs themselves,  
but are instead used for added information in spellings, for detailed  
look-ups for linguistic work etc...continued next message...
