>Dear Stefan, >Thank you for your "spider gymnastics". I had a good laugh at it. I enjoyed >reading your .gif. >Hope ------------------------------- SignWriting List March 8, 2000 And I agree with Hope, Stefan. That was a charming message and your writing was adorable ;-) I know that you did not actually ask for my analysis of your writing in the "spider gymnastics" attachment, but I did notice a detail that may be frustrating you....regarding the Alternating Finger symbol. In my attached diagram, Number 2 is a sign taken from your writing. It is not correct. It should look like Number 1. The single Finger-Trill Symbol cannot be placed over each finger...it instead must be connected to mean all of the Alternating Fingers are moving together in an "on-going alternating movement". The single Alternating Symbol, which you used, can only be written once near a handshape. A complete explanation of that symbol is in the Parkhurst's textbook SignoEscritura, or look on this web page for further explanation: Single Finger Trills https://www.SignWriting.org/fing007.html In this attachment, I have included some of the diagrams from the web: | |||||
