AW: How can we write ...?

Fri Nov 8 19:58:42 UTC 2013

Stefan and Edi,

Hold it, Im showing the hands facing upwards, that's what a back of hand STRIPE on the hands shows. It's facing UPWARDS. Not BACK, and the fingers are pointing UP. I went through the options and the split hand is what SIDE VIEW is. I see the fingers aren't attached, so it is causing confusion. Let me try again. 

I'm on a computer that doesn't have the right software, I'll try to fix it. I was doing a quick fix and it didn't work. Sorry about that. I can see the variant, but this Mac doesn't have Firefox. 

I will fix it and repost.

Hi Charles, 

I look at the first sign ..

Well I do not know what
should be done .. I did not read any description or could not find any video...
;-(

Nevertheless  .... it is
almost impossible to perform this ... back of hands toward the body moving down
????  ouch! 

What do you think? 

Stefan

Sign
first - dystrophy. From your description, to show the fingers in the position
you want, I find the edge-on position the easiest to understand. 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. 

Sign second - your question was how to
show movement forward while keeping the hand in place, sort of like a hinge. 
one,
the right hand was backward. the thumb is the shorter hook. To show
that the hand remains in contact, use the pressure ~ mark. This holds the hand
in place while it rotates forward. 

Here is an example from Brazilian sign
language, the sign for jello (gelatino) where the hand trembles. 

Note
that both hands are showed edge on so that it doesn't get confusing for the
reader. The top hand touches the bottom hand, and presses on the
bottom hand. 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.

Hello!

First: in attach I send You questions concerned for writing a sign in SZJ
(Slovenian sign language). 

Second: Is it possible to make a fonts for Slovenian sign alphabet?
Our alphabet is some different from ASL. Our deaf don´t understand ASL
alphabet at all. In attach I send you SLOVENIAN ALPHABET. This my question
is only for information.

Thank you for your advice and help. Greetings from sunshine Ljubljana. Edi.
