signspelling sequence

[Honza]

Hi Steve,

thanks for link to pdf.
I think it can be useful for us.
I just have one more question - if there is difficult sign that
contains more difficult spelling including more than starting and end
position of hands how do you make spelling then?
Do you use syllables from 1 again?

thanks
Honza
