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

[K.J. Boal]

Thanks! Sorry about the last message... I wrote it before I saw this one...

I like your #5 best... though I might prefer it with the ending handshape of 
#4... As I said in an earlier message, I'll write a few attempts of my own 
and send them along.  I really like the rotation arrow you're using in #1, 
#4 and #5... I think that is closest to what I actually do!

KJ
