Hello Edi, Charles and Stefan -

Thank you, Charles, for writing these signs again and explaining your writing. I like the way you wrote the signs, and I appreciate it that you took the time to do this - I was really glad you mentioned the two paths for the right and left hands’ movement -

Later today I will write it too, and maybe Stefan will too? It will be fun to see each other’s writings ;-)

Stefan …. Edi gave us a Microsoft Word document explaining the signs - Attached is a screen capture of the Microsoft Word document that Edi gave us, explaining the signs - 

FROM EDI….

This has the palm from the side so the lower half is black with the upper white. In addition, the description doesn't have the hands touch so they need to have separate paths.

There is movement but it is of the fingers (the little arrows) the combination of * and ~ ensures that the hands remain in contact and pressing.
