Hello Paul -
Thank you for this question, and welcome back to the SignWriting List!

Charles' answer is correct. Thank you, Charles, for answering  ;-))

The arrows were designed to mean that the right hand has black paint  
on it, and the left hand has white paint on it. So in this sign, the  
right and left hands would definitely paint two separate paths as  
they move down. The right hand paints a black path and the left hand  
paints a white path.

The General Arrowhead, that is neither left nor right, is for other  
signs. It is needed when the two hands, for example, are on top of  
each other, and then they move down. In that case, the black and  
white paint blend together into the same path, and there is neither a  
black or a white path...they blend...so that becomes the General Arrow.

Technically the General Arrowhead does not require contact, because  
some "overlapping paths" or "blended paths" do not touch...but the  
movement does write "on top of each other"....

Thanks again for your question...

Val ;-)
