Tongue Brushing Cheek

Hello Charles and Yuri!

Thank you, Yuri, for the excellent video of the tongue movement. I see Charles has already written the movement, in SignPuddle, under Roubarse:

Brazilian Sign Language Dictionary in SignPuddle
http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.5/index.php?ui=12&sgn=46

Attached is a screen capture of two other ways it could be written. I have also placed this in the Brazilian SignPuddle dictionary, under the English words: "tongue brushes cheek"…see attached screen capture.





Charles, regarding your question about "indefinite" number of repetitions…we have never written that concept - when I see two arrows moving, I know that it happens "at least two times" but it could also be multiple times - so far we haven't had to have such a symbol meaning "indefinite" number of times -

The tongue movement starting in the center and then touching the check is not that dissimilar to the attached diagram - the beginning position would change to be a tongue in the center of the mouth, and the second position would be the tongue inside the cheek...

Val ;-)
