although you adressed your question especially to Valerie I hope very much that it doesn´t bother you if I refer to that. ;-) Here is your .sgn shown as gif - have a look at the attachment. Thank you very much for this question. I could work on that for about 2 hours now. First of all - I´m not sure what the sign for spider is in your SL - The DGS -sign will be shown in my next message. I looked at your writing and tried to move my hands like that. I myself feel uncomfortable with the position in the middle - but I didn´t know how a spider is supposed to do his exercises elsewhere in the world. All legs together ? I´ve got my doubts. What about claw-hands or open C-Hands ?? When I treid to write your sign in different ways , I noticed that I´m not sure how you would like to interpret your sign - starting at the top and then going down ? Is there a rule for that in SW - in case that there are several movements but no arrow? How should we write this spider -push- up gym - if he is doing this for a whole while - advanced level gymnastik teacher ? I tried several arrows - but I ´m not satisfied - as the arrows would indicate a movement of the whole hand /both hands from here to there? Is there a special arrow that doesn´t mean moving from here to there but just helping to read the order of movements? So my question is - how do we write this repitition up down up down - stayinf with the hands at the same place? In the end I wanted to know how it really looks like - this spider -gym thing - so I went downstairs . Next to my room with the parrots there are some of these friends. I´ll tell you in my next message.
