[Sw-l] Between floor and wall arm rotation

That's how great it is here. Lots of thoughts on how best to script this.
Should be easy to read but also to find, this sign.

One thing is for sure, we will adapt the writing. But first we have to
think about which one is the best, because the consequence is that we have
to adapt all affected signs as well and that is not without with meanwhile
3000 signs. :D

We were/are motivated to transcribe signs with a maximum of 2 hands, so
that the pictures do not look so overloaded. And also so that there are not
so many results when searching for a certain hand shape. The end handshapes
should be derived by movements themselves.
But I notice that sometimes  it is more complicated or even too complicated
and it is easier to work with end hand shapes.

Nevertheless, I think that we should not neglect the movement, because it's
a pity if you can't find certain movements. But that's what we are here
for. :D Always nice one after the other. First start with easier ;)

Because of the possible overloading of the pictures, wouldn't it be an
idea, if there are beginning and end handshapes, then always the beginning
handshape has a slightly lighter color? For better readability.

SignSearch in https://sign2mint.de/search/gebaerdensuche:
Here you can search single symbols or even search several symbols together.

Currently the search is not yet optimal, it is only sorted by the number of
symbols. ;) I think we will adopt the sorting from signPuddle. But first we
have to recode. In SWU.

Just try it out :D
