Would it help if I someday (when I get time) posted some of the pages from the NTID Technical Signs manuals? They are a unique blend of SignWriting movement symbols and life-like illustrations of the signs. And there is a whole variety of technical terminology in ASL. If you feel it will be useful, I can plan to do that posting later this summer.
