Wow - Valerie ,
that has been a very quick reply - and I love to see all the people engaged
in these spelling problem -
well - one thing is to get the information what kind of movement is to be
performed in order to express the sign for Mexico -
the other thing is to write it in a way that even the uninformed but
competent SW - reader would perform a movement that comes close to what the
scribe has had on his mind ;-)
Reading all your wonderfull gifs I still feel not secure to understand your
concept accurately. Therefore I get back to the start - and endposition -
spelling which is of advantage until you are familiar with a special sign of
any SL.
So here is a new gif - presenting 4 alternatives - as you can see - there
are some differences regarding the start or endposition.
I am looking forward to your answers.
Stefan ;-)
