Two examples: ASL fingerspelled C is normally a curved handshape, E is an angular/hooked/bent handshape. Under some circumstances, the normally curved C handshape might become more angular (perhaps when fingerspelling E-C-E fast) or the E handshape might relax into a more curved handshape (perhaps L-E-O might produce this). ((I'm inventing these examples just to make the point here - they may be wrong). I would think that you might want to continue writing the C with a more curved handshape and the E with a more angular representation even if they looked identical on the surface. Is this what you mean, Stefan? Best, Rachel Rachel Channon Sign Language Investigations, LLC
