I guess it's about time I chimed in on this thread. The TSL (Taiwan SL) sign for Japan is as in the attachment. JSL "Japan" seems much larger than the TSL sign "Japan". The TSL sign is a small repeated movement using the handshape indicated. However, the handshape you're talking about does appear in the TSL sign for "triangle". Stefan's suggestion seems reasonable. - Wayne >From: Stefan Woehrmann >Reply-To: SignWriting List >To: SignWriting List >Subject: Spelling Japan >Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 14:25:49 PST > >Dear Mark , > >I looked at your question - SignWriting Japan - with great interest. >I sat down and tried different variations.
