[Sw-l] Proofreading a signwriting...

SignWriting List
March 14, 2022

OK. So to find signs that use one symbol in SignPuddle 2, I go to the dictionary file and I click on “Search by Symbols” button on the left. Then I find the symbol I want to search for…drag it to the SignBox, and then click on Any Match. Then I get rid of any location criteria. and then usually a list of signs appears that use that symbol.

I am preparing the list now…

But here is one I found for the simple position of a kiss-like mouth. Some of these signs do not mean “kiss” at all - they are using that mouth position for other grammar reasons…for example…here is one written by Vanessa - thank you Vanessa!
