[Sw-l] Proofreading a signwriting...

[Ms. AnnaGrace]

Hi Val,

Thank you for your reply! Your feedback and the screen capture from
SignPuddle are very helpful. Yes, I was aiming for "kissfist."

I am still learning about the "grammar" of SignWriting. I now can see that
the "up arrow" isn't necessary because it is implied. I am still studying
the SignSpelling Guidelines and Writing Process on pages 193 to 203.

I will change the spelling--I will remove the touch contact from under the
chin.

On page 164 in the textbook, in the first column, on rows 5 and 6 -- could
you tell me the difference between these two "kisses"?  I tried to look up
SignWords that use these symbols in SignPuddle (Search by Symbols) but none
came up.

On another note, there are two signs that I can think of right now that
touch under the chin. I am working on signwriting them, and I will show
them to you in my next email.

Thanks again,
AnnaGrace
