[Sw-l] ASL: Glyph for "2" and "K" handshapes

[AnnaGrace Greenfield]

Hi SignWriting community:

This is for American Sign Language users---

1) For the handshape that resemble the number "*2*" or the letter "*V*", I
tend to write:

2) However, Sutton's textbooks show it as:

which, to me, looks like a "*K*" handshape.

3) According to Sutton's textbooks, "*K*" is represented as:

Please tell me, is there any reason not to use the handshape in:
(1) when I want to depict the "2" handshape (HS:2 or HS:V)?
(2) when I want to depict the "K" handshape (HS:K)?

Thanks for your input and thoughts,

AnnaGrace
