[Sw-l] SignSpelling with traveling wrist flex movements

[Adam Frost]

I am going to start a new thread, but this now has me thinking about the SignSpelling and sorting with traveling wrist flex movements. :-)

First question that comes to mind is should we be using with the wrist flex arrows instead for the SignSpelling? I understand that using it in the actual writing might mess things up in the actual spelling, such as when converted to SVG font, because of the overlapping of the wrist line and the traveling arrow stem. The reason I ask is because it is technically more accurate and might be more helpful for searching.

The other question is more of a “chicken or egg” question. Ha! Should the wrist flex arrows come first in the SignSpelling Sequence for these traveling wrist flex movements, or should the traveling arrow come before the wrist flex? I have actually seen it both ways in our sorting. I am not sure if there is a specific reason for that.
