SignWriting List
February 18, 2000

I received this question yesterday.

The fingers are straighter than that. Please see some of the
different possible versions below in my answer ;-)

The movement of alternating of the fingers is captured in the
movement symbol itself, and not in the handshape symbol....so the
bending of the knuckle joint is there in the writing of the sign...in
the movement symbol:
