SW-L Digest, Vol 20, Issue 58

Greetings everyone! 

My name is Sharon, and I am new to the message board. I am fairly new to sign writing, and I am quite amazed with the whole process. I have a nephew who is deaf, and I work as a sign language interpreter in area schools. I would love to see signwriting become more "mainstream." 

 

I have been looking for a few signs to use in my work, but have had no luck finding them. I was wondering if anyone out there could help. :-) I am looking for signs for:

 

solar system

planet

rings(as in Saturn)

and, if there are signs for the proper names of the planets of our solar system besides Earth.

 

It's a pleasure to "meet" everyone, and thanks in advance for any help I receive.

 

Cheers!

Sharon

I agree, the three SW listings are ambiguous, and the handshape could be an S, an A, a modified T or even an M.  We need a video.

Hello Hector and SW-list friends , 
 
thank you very much fort his message – and what an interesting source for many more country – name-signs. We should discuss some of them on the list – smile! 
 
In this case Singapore – hm – SignWriting is so much better to understand. Does it feel like a wrist-circle movement or is it more kind of circle with the whole lower arm moving. And what about the hand shape – looks pretty much like an “A-hand” and it would feel better to touch the back of the left hand with an “A-hand” bit from this drawing we cannot learn that – smile – 
 
I am grateful for your feedback 
 
Stefan ;-)

Hi friends. I am again in the SignWriting list again.

 

Stefan I found a draw of the singapure sign at http://www.cultura-sorda.eu/resources/WFDeaf_Senas_Paises.pdf 

the PDF document says it is from the WDF. Sorry for the previous message I click the wrong button.
