-----Original Message----- From: Valerie Sutton [SMTP:] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2000 11:07 AM To: SignWriting List Subject: Sign for "FIRE" SignWriting List February 18, 2000 I received this question yesterday. I would not write the sign for "FIRE" with the "Cupped Hand with Spread Fingers". That is the wrong handshape. The fingers are straighter than that. Please see some of the different possible versions below in my answer ;-) The movement of alternating of the fingers is captured in the movement symbol itself, and not in the handshape symbol....so the bending of the knuckle joint is there in the writing of the sign...in the movement symbol: << File: %less054.gif >> << File: less054.gif >> [Lourdes Tollette] I see the file attachemt about the ASL "fire"... And I might add to both hand same time with "fire" and both hand move up the same time... ASL: Burn up Lourdes
