Seeking speaker of BSL

[Kimberley Shaw]

Hi Charles:
great!
I can see that "Dad" is now in the BSL Puddle, as well as "Father".
But not (yet) Mother/Mum ...
Hey, what if I send a cellphone picture of my handwritten SW of these
signs to Charles to transcribe ... and/or anyone else who's game?
Best,
Kim
