Comments: 1st sign: I guess it's just me, but I looked and looked and looked at this--it looked like he touched his jaw with his index finger. I couldn't decide whether to write it that way, or with the second contact on the shoulder, or non second contact at all. Did anyone else have that problem? I liked Stephan's change of orientation, which seems to capture the movement quite well. Mark's was *very clear--but I agree, maybe better not to shift perspectives unless we have to. 2nd sign: Wow, a lot of different spellings :-) I noticed the arm movement, but thought it was unneccesary to write it as it seemed more a consequence of the wrist moving--so I didn't write it. I'm confused about Stefan's movement arrow; I read that as a forearm held horizontally in front of the body, hand pointing to the left, and its rotating. (shown by the double, curved arrow). But in this sign the forearm was verticle--??? _______________________________________ Joe Martin, Plain Old Ordinary Student Top Left Corner USA On Fri, 26 May 2000, Mark Penner wrote: > Great to see the transcriptions.
