[sw-l] HAMBURGER

[Adam Frost]

The rotations on a handshape are not ordered by left and right  
rotations because some rotations can be done by both hands at  
different moments. This is very rare, but very important to remember  
when using SignText. The reason is that people will have the same  
thoughts that Andre just had. I have gotten into the same trap myself,  
but it is important to find the handshape that looks closest to the  
way the hand looks in real like, not where it would be if you followed  
the rotations because our arms don't always bend that way. ;-)
