[Sw-l] Rules or not?

[Josenilson da Silva Mendes]

Hi, Valerie and friends of SW-List!

It's about the symbol + (grasp contact). Some people say it is used to
indicate permanent contact. I disagree. For example:

Mapinguari (indigenous legend)

For me the + symbol should be replaced by *, because the hands don't hold
the belly,they just stay in contact with it.

What do you think?
