Finger Direction Is Meaningful

[Jonathan Duncan]

Hi Val and Adam,
     I have a question about the "Finger Direction Is Meaningful" pages 
in the "SignWriting Hand Symbols" manual and the "American Sign Language 
Hand Symbols" manual.

     I understand the these handshapes and positions can we written 
either like the left column or the right column.  Is this only true in 
the case of the top view of the back of the hand pointing forward?  I 
see that ALL the examples are the top view of the back of the hand 
pointing forward.  Also, would this be true of all handshapes or just 
the one you have listed on the "Finger Direction Is Meaningful" pages?

Thanks
