[Sw-l] Question about wrist side-flex

There is already a way to write a side wrist-flex. You just place the wrist-flex symbol on the side on the handshape with the movement to the side.

I am assuming you would like to write cheese like this?

This SW spelling leads the non-biased reader (Hector) to produce the sign that isn't quite representative of ASL's "cheese." I think if there is a symbol for the wrist side-flex in this spelling, then the signer could correctly perform the ASL sign for "cheese."
