Hello Dali, Stefan and Everyone -
Thank you for your first question about the 10 handshape. I know  
Stefan has already answered you well ;-)) Thank you, Stefan!

The 10 handshape has changed a little since the SignWriter DOS program  
was completed in 1995.

There are two standard ways to write the 10 handshape now. In  
SignPuddle, the one with the dot in the center, showing the thumb  
protruding forward to the reader, is the first symbol in Group 10. But  
you can also construct the other version of the handshape, with the  
line to the side...so both can be written in SignPuddle and both are  
readable by SignWriting users...Both are correct, and can be written  
either way. See attached diagram...
