AW: [sw-l] How to write these Portuguese Colors

Tue Nov 3 17:47:27 UTC 2009

Hi Adam and everyone,

      If the writer uses two separate heads for one sign in the SignText, 
the reader assumes that there are two different signs, not only one sign 
precisely because of the two separate heads.  It is easier to read two 
separate heads for one sign in the  SignPuddle dictionary than in the 
SignText.

      Adam, you did achieve a GRAY writing sign because the reader knows one 
head, two different movements and three different handshapes for one sign in 
the SignText.

      Hand waving

      André
