Hello Ingvild and Adam!

I am sorry we misunderstood the sign. It sounds like you know how to  
write it, Ingvild, and really don't need us...We are guessing because  
we have not seen the signs and sentence...

If you feel it is one sign, then you can write it with or without an  
arrow between...if you want to write the two positions without a  
connecting arrow, then just write the two positions a little closer to  
each other, than two separate signs would be, so it is clear that it  
is one sign rather than two...

And Adam, if the sign had been close to the ear as I had misunderstood  
it to be, then your Wrist Movement Symbol would have been  
perfect...but that was my fault for misunderstanding that the sign for  
YOU was down lower...

smile...

Val ;-)
