Hello Dali!
I see you have added 53 new signs added today to the Tunisian SignPuddle Dictionary! That is great ;-)

Regarding your question about five fingers above...see attached diagram...I need more information...are you talking about the five fingers spread, with one or two fingers bent while all fingers are spread?

Or are the five fingers always tight together in a flat hand, and then one or two fingers bend? These can be constructed in the ISWA 2008, which is what SignPuddle Online is using right now...I can teach you how, if I am sure I know what the handshapes look like....can you take a quick picture of the handshapes you want to write and post them here on the List, so we can see them? Then we can write them together...See next message for answers to your other questions...
