AW: [sw-l] New Czech sign...I wrote these in the Czech SignPuddle

[Adam Frost]

I have been following this with some interest. I haven't said anything  
since I had no idea how better to write it then what has been said.  
That was until now. :-) First thought was, why change from the top  
view of the left hand to the wrist view? (If that is what it is  
called, HA!) What I mean is that they mean the same, but I think in  
this case the wrist view actually works better in readability.  
Secondly, if you have the beginning and ending positions, why do you  
need the arrows? Isn't the movement already apparent? The reason I  
thought of this was because of the writing of the ASL  sign "meaning"  
although I think I have a different idea for writing that, but I will  
save that for another time. ;-)

So having thought about that, I think that I would write it like this.

I don't know about having the last position of the right hand covering  
some of the left hand, but I think it is clear as to where the hand is  
rather than having to resort to "the other symbols" for more detail.  
(If you can't guess, I avoid writing with them at all costs. Ha!) What  
do you think?
