Hello Natasha, Charles and Stefan!

Thank you for your interesting post, Natasha...and yes there are many  
unusual SignSpellings when writing storytelling!

And Stefan's excellent eye for detail has found two good things to  
discuss...plus I have another as well...

First, let's talk about the Head Movements...which Stefan noticed...

There is a difference in meaning between single stemmed and double  
stemmed arrows, when it is in regards to Head Movement...do you know  
the difference in meaning between these two attached?

They mean two different things...this is the only time when single  
stemmed and double stemmed arrows, to the side, mean two different  
things...
