Help on movement away from the chest

[Charles Butler]

I have the dictionary (A-H) and so sometimes I have the original line drawings 
which I have to reverse to expressive sign. Since the people at the University 
of Sao Paulo have the dictionaries I am trying to order them as they load them, 
and occasionally run across this particular error.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought that you had said the hand was moving back to the 
chest. In that case, then you wrote it well. :-)

The movement is "forward" which is UP the page in writing, not toward the
