Hello Rachel and Ingvild -

Thank you, Rachel, for the question, and thank you, Ingvild for answering. Great to hear from you again.

Just as Ingvild said, the bar is the top view of the shoulders. If you look down on top of the head, we see the shoulders sticking out on each side of the head.

Other than that, I think your descriptions are fine, Rachel. Thank you for working on describing the symbols.

Val ;-)

As far as I know/ remember/ understand, the bar represents the shoulders, not the ears. So you are right, you are seeing the head from above, and the location is moving in a circle as seen from that view.

Hi Everyone, I have a question about some top of the head locations that im hoping you can help with –
Im looking at symbol set S384 Location Head Neck.  The second column (column S3841x) has symbols that I think relate to the top of the head.  I interpret the bar as a top view of the ears.  I also imagine that I am looking down at the top of the head as though I were standing on a tall ladder behind the signer, so that when the scallop is at the top of the page, it means it is near the forehead/face and when the scallop is at the bottom of the page it means the back of the top of the head. Here is the set:

 

Here is how I interpret them from the top down
0 top of head near center forehead
1 top of head near left side of forehead
2 top of head above left ear
3 top of head behind left ear
4 top of head at center back
5 top of head behind right ear
6 top of head above right ear
7 top of head near right side of forehead

 

Have I interpreted them correctly?

 

Thanks!
Rachel
