spelling question

Here are three possible writings that I might use.

In the first example, the dot is not necessary but just added  
information. The second and third examples remove the first position.  
The bending of the fingers holds the meaning in the sign...the bent  
fingers show the "result of the squeeze" motion...so we write that  
plus the arrow pulls or pushes the hand to the side...

It has taken us at least 20 years in ASL to find the best way to write  
some numbers...and some of our writings are very abbreviated, and not  
so easy to read for those who do not know ASL, so I understand that  
you need to find a short way to write numbers, especially for tiny  
page numbers etc...so for tiny page numbers I would think the third  
one in this example would be the best...

Hope this has been helpful. Happy to be in discussions again!
