How many symbols do we use in SignWriting?

Just to illustrate an example of how a sign in LSM, may become standard
see attachment.

The first example has been written by a signer who configured his hands
slightly differently - he just wrote what he saw. However a more frequent
handshape used in Maltese Sign Language was chosen as 'standard' - and
when checked with several Deaf people the second simplified version was
read with no problem whatsoever.
