Movement of the wrist

SignWriting List

Hello Madson and everyone -
Thanks for all the messages related to wrist movements - 

Madson - Have you read these web pages about two SignSpelling rules? These are old web pages but they hold valuable information. The two SignSpelling Rules influence my writing daily…After reading the rules, you can see that if the Wrist Movement is going up or forward, then the up arrows or forward arrows would be placed above the hand symbol, since the hand symbol in these cases are like the "center of the sign", but if the Wrist Movement is going down or back, then the Wrist Movement Symbol would be placed below the hand symbol - this is a general rule for movement arrow placement, in relationship to hand symbols. Of course there are exceptions - sometimes the face can be in the way and we have to move the arrows over to the side of the hand as you have written in your examples, but if possible, the up arrows should be above the hand symbol and also the forward arrows would be above the hand symbol. Take a look:

SignSpelling Rule 2: Every sign has a center

More soon -
