signers in Japan to delineate shades of meaning in some signs and as an integral part of others. They are, we think, necessary to the writing system. My collaborator wants to put a Japanese alphabetic symbol at the mouth. I don't imagine Valerie is going to want to add that to the character set, and being somewhat of a purist at heart myself, it doesn't seem right to be "mixing alphabets", so to speak. How do we do it within the signwriting system? Is it possible to do without two heads? (Since we have two mouth positions involved, the only way I can think of to write it is with two heads, but that seems unwieldy.) Of course, the mouth movement generally takes place at the moment the hands move, so two heads might work--one with just the first mouth position, and the next with second mouth position and hand action. I don't have my manual here at home with me, but I tried a sample anyway. This is supposed to be "pa". Mark | ||||||||||||
