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

[Charles Butler]

Of these 4 variations, I'd go for 4.

  Hi Adam, Charles, Valerie, Tini ...

  Well that is the difference – big smile – you have seen the performance – and now you can explain the idea ... 
   
  I played around with several variations – what I understand is that there is a decision between two different rotations – parallel to the wall – or parallel to the floor. Both options are possible – 
   
  When I hesitated to read the sign fluently  I could not imagine that you want the pinky down and the forearm on top – just as Valerie explained in her graphic. 
   
  And the rason that I comment on this spelling is just to learn – just as Anny said – I am happy to learn. I want to undestand. And reading unknown movement description is the best way to do that. 
   
  L.I.F.E 
   
  In the end it is up to you Kelly to express your feeling about the spelling-discussion and your opinion ... smile!

  The only problems that I have with the original spelling is 1)The contact symbols break the point of contact, and 2)The I handshape is at an awkward position being pinky down and palm out. Having seen Kelly Jo sign her name to me, I would write the fingerspelling KJ on the arm with a brush on top of the J to say that the J brushes the arm. I didn't place a star on top of the K, but it could have been put there if the touch was really important. I personally think that using the fingerspelling gives ease to reading because the fingerspelling are fairly standard in SW and that is what this is. And Charles, to get the arms, what I did was I got the regular joined upper arm and forearm, and added another forearm to make it longer to fit all of the symbols.

  I don't seem to be able to get big enough upper arms and forearms in the Sign Puddle that are clearly identified as upper arms and forearms by the click and point method.  How does this look.  This way one knows where the action is happening by the arm locator, and then the handshape moves as appropriate.
