thank you for your question. It is always the same. Trying to solve a special spelling problem opens a can of worms. I had a look at the signwriting.org - website , searched with google " finger movements" and found 5 pages of hits ! I looked at many many wonderfull E-lessons. Thank you very much Valerie, for your wonderfull presentation- some of the gifs are missing - hm - right now there are sooo many other things on your to do list I know. ;-( Well what I took out of my little "research" is that we as the authors have to decide how accurately and with how many details you want to present a special movement-description. In this case - I would decide to write for the "informed reader". So people who are competent in ASL should know about the sign for "mud" - but if we want, we can add the endposition - I prepared to gifs and hopefully will start a discussion about this issue. Have a look at my first attachment. Next is coming with my next message - one at a time - I know !
