SignWriting List July 20, 2001 Hello Everyone! Please forgive my delay in responding to all your messages. I had planned to post some messages teaching the bending of the finger movements in detail...I haven't gotten to it yet! I am not sure what message you are referring to in the above statement, Stefan. I am sorry if I gave you a mis-impression on something... The dark dots should be above the second position...the end of the closing action takes the dark dots...and I promise, I will explain soon... Regarding the attached diagram called "come", which you just posted, Stefan, I only use the second example in your diagram. The dark dots are like arrowheads. Pretend that the dark dot is at the end of an arrow....The dark dots should be above the second position at all times, because if it were an arrow, the arrowhead is over the second position. Hector really seems to understand it well, which is great. For example, his numbers show the dots over the ending position, which is the way I would write them. Charles pointed out in the past, that some of our signs in our old ASL dictionary are incorrectly written...That is true, so of course that confuses everyone!! And I am sorry, Charles, that I have not answered your questions in detail...I certainly plan to... So give me a few hours and I will be back! If there were only more hours in a day...anyone invent a day with 36 hours yet? ;-) | |||||
