as it is always - one explanation leads directly to the next question I would like to transcribe a sign where the signer simply moves his eyebrows quickly up and down while looking straight to the friend ( kind of flirt-gesture) Any idea how to write this if not with four faces next to each other ???) Smile Stefan ;-) Sorry I forgot to add my own suggestion- gif. Itīs not fair to put all the burdon on you. So I went back to my "lessons in Sign-Writing " (- BTW - Valerie - itīs such a good qualitiy - I use it almost every day but the paper and the cover are still in excellent shape! Same with Goldilocks books - the laminated cover is great!! ) I found the sign for "Batting Eyelashes" what do you think if I take this symbol for bending at the knuckle-joints also for the eyebrows - or would double-stem arrows (the shortes ones) serve better ? Have a look at the attached gif please. ----- Original Message ----- From: joe martin To: Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2000 6:42 AM Subject: Re: bible project 2 Reply: >From: Stefan Woehrmann >Subject: Re: bible project 2 >Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2000 01:36:45 +0200 >Joe wrote: > > about eye arrows........ > > Hmmmmm....It makes more sense to use double stemmed arrows; that means > > movement in the wall plane--up/down.

You're right. I shouldn't have said eye"brows". My arrows just meant the eyes are looking at the signs he makes. It's exactly like the goldilocks video (except that I used single stemmed arrows.) Also, it is predictable and thus not necesary to write it. That is, we know that whenever one sets up a classifier in space, one looks at it; and therefore we would normally assume that the eyegaze was there, and not bother to write it down. (^_^) PS. Thanks, Stefan, for your help on the rotations; that clears it up ;-) _____________________________________ Joe Martin, plain old ordinary student Top left corner, USA | ||||||||||||
