Examples of Syllable 4: Detailed Sorting

[Jonathan Duncan]

Hi Adam,
     I am working with Charles on finding a better way for sorting. So 
that´s a bit what Charles was explaining to you some of the issues.  I 
know he also asked last week about locations on the hands.  I know Val 
was off for a well deserved break.  But we are still wondering about 
that too  I believe it´s the same as number 1 and 2 in Syllable 4.

I asked about the Syllable 4 below because am adding SignSpelling 
Sequence suggestion function to SignWriter Studio.   There will be two 
suggestion types,  one that follows Val´s 
sw0534-SignSpellingGuidelines-2008.pdf and another for what we are 
developping with Charles.

So far I have been able to automate a great part of setting the sequence 
for a sign from the symbols in a sign (no special location) for 
SignSpellingGuidelines-2008.  I have done Sylables 1-3 with a great 
measure of success so long as there aren´t more than four hands and a 
couple movement symbols.  For composite signs like "Good morning" in 
Honduran Sign Language it´s not great at all, but otherwise I think that 
it is a time saver.

But I got to Syllable 4: Detailed Sorting and I need some examples of 
signs sorted that have these features.  I am thinking that many of these 
would also be the special location symbol that aren´t used in everyday 
writing.

Thank you for the two examples you found.  That was helpful.

Regards,
Jonathan
