i am afraid you missunderstood my problem...
the actual question i have is about the
underlying principles of SignWriting and
maybe any other system for writing down
sign languages (HamNoSys for example)
are there any problems, that make writing a sign language
more difficult than writing spoken languages in (roman) letters?
what are the problems, that make writing signlanguages
more difficult than writing oral language.
...what i guess is, that the 4th dimension introduced
through space in sign language makes it more difficult to
transpose it to the 2-dimensional paper.
is there a principle rule followed by SignWriting"
i also wonder if the SignWriting system is (as it seems
for me) somehow related to chinese script.
to me it seems that both are somehow logographic.
