SignWriting List August 8, 2019 Hi Adam and everyone - Thanks for sharing these questions with us - I hope you all will put in your opinions - this is an interesting topic - I have a question - Is there wrist motion like the sign for YES in the sign for 22? Is it like a "traveling YES"? The original writing with the three arrows was a compromise - it avoided writing the actual Wrist Movement Symbol, but still gave the feeling of "down-down" while it was traveling side If wrist motion is not necessary - or if it is there but no need to write it to understand it - then the curve is fine for me - but for me it gives the "feeling" of a curve, not "down-down" from the wrist what do you feel when you look at those arrows? and is it necessary to write the different feelings?

An example of a sign with this movement is the ASL number 22.

This lead to a discussion of possible ways to write it.
