[Sw-l] Question about the direction of movement indicated by the touching contact symbol

[Profo Rubens Almeida]

Exactly Adam, regardless of the use of the three movements (movement made
by the right hand, left hand or both) does not change the meaning. I used
this example to make sure how to correctly read the writing of the “tempo
(soccer)” sign with the double touch symbol. Now it has become clear that
in this case, in the reading process it allows varying different movements
by not changing the meaning. And in cases where the movement of the sign is
specific in relation to the dominant hand and the passive hand, I must
write with the corresponding arrow and not just the contact symbols.

Again, thank you very, very, very much Adam for the clarification!

Signed hugs!
