No one is asking anyone to sign any differently than they already do... And the four examples I showed are only four...you can show us four new examples...and what is so fascinating is that they can all be read well by someone skilled in SignWriting. So if you feel there are certain lingusitic principles that can be applied to sign spellings, record lots of signs in SignWriting first, and then write a paper on the theory of how to write compound signs...that would be great information for everyone!
