June 29, 2000 Video Transcription Course ....regarding the 2nd sign on the video....

You will see that writing the flexing of the wrist (bending of the wrist) is a different symbol that writing a curved movement. Although the curved movement arrow shows the pattern of the fingers moving down in space, it actually is not accurate enough, because it does not show that the wrist is bending. So I think the information of the wrist-flex is more important. I know Stefan is very busy with the last week of school and like everyone, there are times when we cannot focus on courses - so I do not expect a response on this ;-) So I think we have analyzed the first two signs enough!! In a week or so, I will start looking at the third and fourth signs - Thanks so much, Joe, Wayne, Mark and Stefan, for your input. You know far more SignWriting than you let on! Val ;-) | |||||
