ALLIGATOR Palm Facing and Direction

[Charles Butler]

Hi Valerie,

I love view one, as this is the way we wrote it YEARS ago when Sign Writing was just beginning.  I'm glad our little front view has come back into the system.

Hello Everyone!
I am having some problems with my email. It just isn't working  
correctly and I do not know why. Some messages send well, and other  
messages never arrive...it is very frustrating for all of us...

Therefore, I want to be sure you all know that your questions are  
important to us, but if for some reason it seems like you did not get  
answered, then send your message again...you never know, it is  
possible we never received your email...

And Andre, there are at least four ways to write the sign for  
ALLIGATOR, and all of the are correct...they are all good ways to  
write the position of the hands, at different angles and different  
viewpoints...

Here are four ways attached...

Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Val ;-)

PS. The first example in this attached diagram shows an old handshape  
from the 1980's which I put back into the ISWA now...it shows the  
hands projecting forward from the front view instead of the top  
view...the second, third and fourth examples are from the top view...
