Brush-Between Symbol for ESCAPE in ASL

[Adam Frost]

Hmm... very interesting. I remember when I first wrote, that I felt  
that those symbols should rotate. Now that I have gotten used to it,  
it just seem weird that they can be rotated like this. So I know  
exactly what you are saying, Charles. Val, at first I thought like you  
were thinking when you said, "The second one (for me), is stating that  
the index finger is brushing between two horizontal fingers." Then  
when I looked back at DISAPPEAR

, the fingers are horizontal, but it still felt right to have the in-

  the horizontal in-between felt better. I then realized that it was  
because of the arrows. It felt like the arrow was taking the brush  
symbol with it while leaving the lines that represent the fingers  
"behind" adding to the feel that the fingers stay. True, I don't have  
the arrow with the contact in DISAPPEAR because I feel that the  
contacts should be near the contact and the arrows should have its  
beginning at the hand, but that is what it seems to do for me as to  
how to have the in-between contacts. Of course, that is just me. ;-)
