>> As you can see in the attached screen capture, when the Tilt Symbol is placed “on top of the circle for the Head", as in Base Symbol 515, it is showing a Tilting “Movement”. It is Head Movement when it is above the Head circle. It is a motion - a real "action of tilting".
>> 
>> But when the Tilting symbol is placed in the middle of the Facial Circle, as in BaseSymbol 520, it represents a Tilted, static “Position” of the NOSE on the Face.  The tilted nose is “held” in a tilted position that does not move but stays tilted… it is static...
>> 
>> I am sure you are all wondering…what is the difference? Ha!
>> 
>> Well, imagine if you want to show touching your nose while your head is tilted and the nose is at an angle … versus a real Head Movement of Tilt-Tilt-Tilt -

>> Movements and positions have a slightly different feel, but they are very close… see attached - I will show you some literature next - especially Cat in the Hat in ASL…
