thanks for the first answer ;-), ok - got it - and found "perpendicular" in my dictionary - Nevertheless - I would like to continue to learn (=to ask) and I hope that you don`t mind. I got a question from a new SW-learner from G ô² tingen in Germany. Here questions where very helpfull to go for a deeper understanding of spelling wrist-flexing movements I guess that it is not so difficult to undrstand the arrows if I stay on the same plane - but as soon as I hold my hands up - right in front of me and move it -(down or forward ? or in another case backwards or down ??) there are different possibilities to use either double-stemmed arrows or single-stemmed arows depending on how it feels like ??? The movement should be the same but the feeling might be different . (There is this other example in the field of roations where we can focus on the thumb or on the babyfinger and express this feeling by the way of our spelling . ) Hm it is difficult for me to express it - so please look at a couple of attachments which I wrote this afternoon. May be you can understand my question or simply can offer two or three spellings that are well written - using my spellings as material for that ?? Thanks a lot We agreed on one gif per email - so I ±_ l send three or for emails Stefan ;-) We ----- Original Message ----- From: Valerie Sutton To: Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2001 3:39 PM Subject: Re: flexing-motion > Stefan from Germany wrote: > >I stumbeled over the spelling for flag and would like to ask some questions > >regarding flexing- motion - > > > SignWriting List > October 10, 2001 > > Hello Everyone, and Stefan - > Regarding the Flexing Motion symbols...They are not quite the same as > Rotation Symbols (where the line represents the direction of the arm). > > In the flex symbols, the line is simply the axis, and does not > coordinate with the direction of the arm at all.
