[Sw-l] Between floor and wall arm rotation

Hi Adam!
I was surprised when I saw your video. Thank you for sending it. This is a different conversation than before. Thank you for posting the video directly in email.

I thought you were talking about straight traveling movement on the diagonal plane with a rotation symbol on the stem line of the diagonal plane straight arrow. Ha!

But this is a very small movement. And there's no traveling from what I can see. So this is a Rotation Symbol.

See the diagram attached. That is how I would write it. No diagonal plane needed.

We do not have a diagonal plane for Rotation Symbols. Only Floor and Wall.

If it is important, from a linguistic point of view, to state that the forearm is on the diagonal plane in the first position, and not somewhere in between, then I would write a stick figure with arms. Or just the arm line by itself may be able to show these details for gesture writing, or for writing mime or dance. But a sign like this can be read without those details I think.

Please see the attached. I hope this helps. I will try to be back online on Tuesday.

Thank you everyone for your busy and wonderful discussions.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Val ;-)
