I tried to express that the open hand closes to a fist at the shoulders. And then the fists move down to touch the body! I had a very close look at a video. I tried to write " Jacke" in DGS. >Since the finishing position is written, the reader can assume that >the fingers "squeeze into a fist", thatīs right, but I tried to express, that this happens already in the beginning of this movement. and writing the dots is a >"double-up" of information. It can be read without the dots. The dot means from C-Hand to closed fist. That is correct????? > >The ending position in Number 1 has two Touch symbols. I was not sure >if the writer meant that the hands touch each other twice or not. If >they really do "Touch-Touch" then the double Touch symbols are >necessary. no they donīt touch each other. They touch the body ! (Iīm so sorry to confuse you!) Mistakes are our friends - so please accept that Iīm learning so much of it!! >I >think it is probably clear that the two hands are moving at the same >time.... Yes - thatīs true! > >So I simplified the writing of the sign for daily use, although the >original detailed writing was not necessarily wrong... Well - Iīm not sure. May be it was wrong. Iīm happy to learn. Nevertheless. My pupils accepted it as the symbol for "jacket " I will inform you about their comments ... hihihi Stefan ;-) > >Val ;-) ><< _less025.gif >> ><< less025.gif >> | ||||||||
