Understanding a sign

[Charles Butler]

Hmm.  I don't know the sign in production, but at least one variant I have seen (look at mine with the bird and full sweep from Signing Savvy) actually does move forward and back.  I should have a change in palm facing but I'm away from the editor.  

I have not seen the sign in Cecilia Flood's sign in video, so I'm not sure.  Adam what do you think?

peacock bird plus spreading fingers.

Exept, of course, that Adam's is so easily readable that if you know it is supposed to be the sign for 'peacock', you may not even notice that the arrow is written single-stemmed when it should have been double-stemmed - sorry all

 Agreed - Adam's is easy to read, while you would have to think for a while (and change the palm facing) to read the original one

Not doable at all, as far as I can see... the palm facing of the fist is just wrong.  But I prefer Adam's writing, myself.
