I hope you don't mind if I reply to the whole list, because I'm also very much a beginner at SignWriting, and still have a lot of ASL to learn! Your questions are very helpful. I'd be interested in any feedback from Valerie on my writing (when she has time), and from Cecelia, Lorraine or Nancy on the accuracy of my signs. > Is there any reason why you choose the arrows for neutral (not left, > not right ?) when in fact you took the right hand ? I'm not sure what the difference between the arrows is. The sign is made with an axial movement which results in the tip of the middle finger brushing the chin twice. I hope my new gif (nm2.gif) shows it more clearly. > As there is no area - I get in trouble where to locate the contact - > neckm chin, upper breast area. > I tried some variations and I´m just curious moving the hand - > middlefinger with brush contact - you want to start from the position > with back of the hand to the right side ? Okay, my answer is (a). It starts with the middle finger in contact with the chin. Isn't that what my gif shows? Be careful about that upper breast area; it could be misinterpreted and cost Valerie her Net-Mom Approved Award! For the NM sign for "lucky," it's made with the tip of the thumb remaining in contact with the right side of the chin while the selected fingers close twice. Thanks again for your feedback. We're all learning here, so it's good to get help from each other! -- -Angus B. Grieve-Smith Linguistics Department University of New Mexico | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
