LISTSERV 16.0 - SW-L Archives

I had to sort by the index with arc hand as a variant. It is not perfect, but one has to begin somewhere.

Hi Jonathan,

For constructed hand shapes, choose a hand shape from the ISWA 2010 that
is close to where you would like constructed hand shape to sort. Use
this chosen hand shape in the SignSpelling Sequence. It would be best if
the hand shape wasn't used in the target language.

A group would need to agree and it wouldn't be perfect, but it would
allow for sorting to a certain degree.

Regards,
-Steve
