AW: [sw-l] writing body and head motions with repetition

[SignWriting]

Hello Charles ....
If that is what Natasha wants, then that is fine, but in Natatsha's  
word description below, she is saying that the head "turns". Have I  
misunderstood what you mean by the heading turning, Natasha?

If the head turns, it has to be a double stemmed arrow side to side,  
because that means the nose turns in the direction of the double  
stemmed arrows...If the ears are the ones moving side to side, but the  
nose remains straight front, then it is a single stemmed arrow...just  
as Charles and Stefan read it...

smile...

Val ;-)
