Hello Valerie, thank you for your answer. I´m not sure whether I can interpret your spelling I tried to indicate with two arrows that both hands rotate first counter clockwise while the right hand moves up - the left moves down at the same moment. As I learned from you - we read the signs starting from the center - therefore I avoided to combine both arrows to one. Nevertheless looking at your writing - what does indicate that both hand rotate always in the same direction while moving up and down alternating? Thank you ! Stefan ;-) >From: Valerie Sutton >Reply-To: SignWriting List >To: SignWriting List >Subject: Re: Sign for "FIRE" in DGS >Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 07:29:10 -0800 > >On 2/22/00, Stefan Woehrmann attached a file and asked "Is this >written correctly"? > >Please look at the attached file....first you will see Stefan's >question and then my answer ;-) > >By the way, Stefan, I admire your ingenuity in constructing the >movement symbols as you did!
