Hello Natasha , Adam, Stefan, Cherie, Charles and everyone!

This is a great discussion, I agree...and now I understand your  
questions much better...Your video was very helpful, Natasha. When you  
can see someone else read your own writing, that is a great way to get  
good feedback...

And this is not a new issue...This same issue has happened with other  
writing of other wavy motions, like OCEAN or WAVES...

The question arises...Should we write a great deal of detail to show  
that the Wrist is not "locked" and is also flexing at the same time  
that the arm moves?...it is a "combination" of an arm movement and a  
simultaneous wrist movement"...that is very true...

If we look at some of the writings, in the ASL dictionary, for the  
sign for WAVES or OCEAN, you can see the same problem..Take a look at  
this writing of OCEAN WAVES...

The hands are flat to the floor, but you cannot know really, if the  
hands are going up and down at the wrist or if they remain locked in  
the 'flat to the floor" position the whole time during the  
movement...no information is given as to the wrist movement:

We have been "assuming" that the wrists wave up and down to match the  
movement, without actually writing the hand changes...

I guess we could write the wrist movement as well as the arm  
movement...want to try that, someone?
