[Sw-l] New sign for "Mosque" in Thai SL (waiting for discussion)

[Adam Frost]

Yes, the beginning and ending handshapes can make the movement arrows less complex. ;-)

I know that there are times in ASL where one of the two handshapes would not be written because it is understood that the movement aren’t just “straight forward” because the sign is commonly known and doesn’t have another sign that could be confused with it.

There is always a tug between writing exact details and writing as simple and easy as possible. Sometimes I do several tries to see how much detail is needed and how much can be done without. We get better as we write more and share with other writers. ;-)

I found that this sign looks so complicated and beautiful at the same time, and it seems that even the ASL SW dictionary doesn't have this sign but a finger-spelling one. Do you think this sign in ThaiSL is similar to the sign "Mosque" in your native SL(s)? I'm not sure if I wrote the sign right, so any comments, corrections, and suggestions are welcome!
