discussion about how to position the thumb. In this case, in SignWriter, I was unable to position the thumb the way it looked like it should be in "real life". I think this is because what we have is not a true "L" shaped hand, but an "L" hand with the thumbs bent at the knuckle so that they come down and touch each other. What you then have in the starting position is two hands palms facing each other with index fingers and thumbs touching to form a triangle. These move away from each other while the thumb and forefinger come together on each hand. My right hand example is more intuitive. The left hand one is the best I can do in SignWriter. But the fact that I can't write it how I think it looks best in SignWriter makes me wonder if I've got it wrong. Mark | ||||||||||||||||
