February 8, 2000 Question: When do I write a circle and when do I write a curved arrow? ANSWER: Generally four curves make one circle. So usually a curved arrow is one quarter of a circle. There are definitely exceptions, and you are welcome to write the curves in other configurations too. However, in general four curves make one circle. A complete circle is not written with curved arrows, but with circle symbols. I will now attach a series of six excellent illustrations by linguist and artist Steve Parkhurst from Spain. These illustrations appeared in two books on SignWriting published in Spain in 1999...they illustrate curves and circles. Please see the first illustration, attached: "curves22.gif" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
